DESCRIPTION. 



CCCXXVI. E. Howitti Deane. 



In Bee. Geol Surv. Vict., vol.*i, Part I, p. 24. Plate iii. fig. 10, Plate iv, fig. 2. 



From Berwick. Victoria. 



Following is the original description : — 



Leaves oblique, almos': cordate at base, lateral veins transverse intramargina] vein conspicuous. 

 . . . . They seem to belong to species with opposite leaves or to be leaves of seedlings or suckers. 

 these being often cordate or rounded at the base. 



"' One of the most important assemblages of fossil leaves of the Older Tertian- 

 series is that found under the floor of Wilson's bluestone quarry at Berwick, Uippsland. 

 These leaf-bearing beds are described by A. E. Kitson as ' yellow, white, black and 

 In-own soft davs and sandy clays, some of them containing leaves of dicotyledonous 

 plants in great abundance." . . . By the almost equal proportion of Eucalyptus 

 leaves of the wide-angled, parallel-veined (archaic) type, and those in which the 

 veins are acutely disposed to the midrib, one cannot help concluding that the flora is 

 somewhere in the mid-stage of development, and precludes the idea of one so old 

 even as the Eocene.'" (Chapman, p. 117.)

CCC XXVII. E. Kitsoni Deane.

(See Part XXVIII. p. 164, of the present work, where I correct the nomenclature 

 ot a living Bpeciea to which I had given the name /•.'. Kitsoni.)
