““Notes on the discovery of new species of leaf impressions from the 
Tertiary sandstones at Mount Bischoff, belonging to the genera 
Eucalyptus, Laurus Quercus, Zamia, etc.” By Mr. R. M. Johnston,

interesting leaf impressions obtained by Mr. Kayser in sinking through 
Tertiary sandstone beds, which underlie the recent basalt at Mount 
Bischoff as it does at Breadalbane, One-Tree Point, Geilstone, and other 
places in Tasmania. Mr. Kayser is highly commended for his services 
to science in this matter, as he has by his painstaking energy added 
considerably to our knowledge of the Tertiary Flora of Tasmania. In 
the collection made by Mr, Kayser, Mr. Johnston recognises at least 
10 new species belonging to the genera Eucalyptus, Quercus, Laurus, 
Ulmus, Zamia, and possibly the genera Lomatia, Ceratopetalum, and 
Ficus, are also represented. This, according to the writer of the paper, 
is most interesting,as it substantiates the opinions advanced by Baron 
von Ettingshausen and Baron Sir Ferd. von Miieller, that the whole
