Comprises the following papers : 1^ Carboniferous Plants from Peru, which 

 is the fîrst descriptive account of plants of this âge from South America. 

 The flora includes the following : Palniatopteris furcata, Eremopteris Whilei, 

 Eremopteris peruianus, Calamités Suckovvii, Calamostachys s p., Lepidoden- 

 âron rimosum, Lepidodendron obovatum, Lepidophyllum sp., Lepidosirobus, 

 sp., Stigmaria sp., and Knorria sp. Thèse occur at Paracas on the southern 

 coast of Peru and indicate a former greater westward extent of the continent 

 and a Westphahan âge. 2^ The Mesozoic Flora of Peru. This contains a sum- 

 mary of the known Mesozoic plants of Peru, representing the gênera Equise- 

 iiies, Tœniopieris, Ruffordia, Filicites, Cladophlebis,Sphenopteris,Weichselia, 

 Klukia, Otozamites, Zamiostrobus, Cycadolepis, Podozamites, Tuiles, Brachy- 

 phylliim and Anlholilhiis. Weichselia peruviana, Klukia Zeilleri, Otozamites 

 peruvianus, Otozamites Zeilleri and Thuites leptocladus are described in détail. 

 The âge is considered as probably Portlandian. S^.The Flora of the Concepcion- 

 AraucoGoalMeasures of Chile. This comprises a detailed geological and bo- 

 tanical discussion of the lower Miocène flora of the so-called Navidad beds 

 of southern Chile. It includes 5 forms representing Gleicheniacese, Gatheacese 

 and Polypodiaceae ; 4 gymnosperms including Zamia, Araucaria and Séquoia ; 

 2 palms ; and représentatives of the following dicotyledonous families : Pipe- 

 racese, Moracese, Loranlhacese, Anonacese, Myristicacese, Cœsalpiniaceœ, 

 Papilionacese, Erylhroxylaceœ, Rutacese, Meliacese, Vochysacese, Euphorbia- 

 cese, Hicacese, Celaslracese, Sapindaceœ, Tiliaceœ, Bombacaceœ, Dilleniaceœ, 

 Ochnaceœ, Flacourtiacese, Lauraceœ, Combretaceee, Lecylhidaceœ, Myrtaceas, 

 Myrsinaceae,Styracaceœ,Apocynaceas,Borraginaceœ and Rubiaceee.'Newspecies 

 of Cyatlioides, Araucaria, Cassia, Triumfetta, Neclandra and Gœpperlia are 

 described. This flora is distinctly Amazonian in character and its.bearing on 

 former climatic and géographie conditions and upon the time op uphft of 

 the Andes is fully discussed. 4° Phocene Fossil Plants from EasternBolivia. 

 This flora, found at an altitude of 11,800 feet, includes 3 forms representing 

 the Gteiciieniacœas and Polypodiacese ; two monocotyledons-/fe/ïconia and 

 Iriartites ; and dicotyledons representing the gênera Coussapoa, Pisonia, 

 Anona, Cassia, Pilhecolobium, Pilocarpus, Saccoglottis, Proiium, Mespilo- 

 daphne, Myrcia, Sideroxylon, Chrysophyllum, and Cedrela or Sapindus. Thèse 

 are fully discussed in their geological and botanical aspects, and the con- 

 clusion is reached that the minimum amount of Andean uplift since this 

 flora lived in this région was 6500 feet. The following species are described 

 as new : Goniopteris eochabambensis, Filicites elaphoglossoides, Gleichenia 

 pectinata fossilis, Heliconia tertiaria, Iriartites boliviensis, Coussapoa pliocse- 

 niea, Pisonia pliocseniea, Anona feochabambensis, Pilhecolobium paleanum, 

 Cassia piellypampensis, Cassia coriacea, Cassia palcana, Pilocarpus boli- 

 vianus, Protium fossille, Saccoglottis tertiaria, Mespilodaphno boliviana, 

 Myrcia pliocseniea, Sideroxylon pliocœnieum,, and Chrysophyllum crassum. 

 5° Late Tertiary Plants from Jancocata, Bolivia. Describes the following 

 new species. and fully discusses their geological and climatic bearing : Pteris
