BAILY PLANT-REMAINS. 361 



Locality. Not unfrequent in the red-bole or ochre bed, which 

 passes into an iron- ore deposit, interstratified with the basalt, rail- 

 way-cutting between Templepatrick and Doagh stations, Belfast 

 and Northern Counties Eailway. 



Sequoia Dtj Noteri, Baily Plate XY. fig. 4, a & 6. 



Branches covered by closely arranged, elongate and acuminate 

 leaves, each with a strong, longitudinal, median depression. 



This species is closely allied to S. Sternhergi, Goepp., sp., figured 

 by Prof. Heer in ' Flora Fossilis Arctica ' (p. 140, pi. 24. figs. 7-10), 

 but differs in the closer and more imbricated character of the ar- 

 rangement of the leaves upon the stem. 



It occurs at the same locality and in the same deposit as the pre- 

 ceding species. 



CuPEESsiTES MacHenrh, Baily. Plate XY. fig. 5, a & b. 



Leaves small and closely imbricating, branches alternating and 

 divergent. 



Allied to C. pychnophylloides, Massalongo, ' Flora Fossile Senigal- 

 Uese, p. 151, pi. 5. figs. 17, 18, 19. 



In iron-ore deposit, from the same locality as the previous species.

of Antrim. 



Plate XIY. 



Fig. 1. ?Platanus : a, portion of leaf showing reticulated surface ; h, part of the 

 same enlarged. This specimen has the cast of a seed impressed upon it. 



2. ? Faff us. An imperfect ovate leaf, with an obsoletely denticulate mar- 



gin ; allied to Fagus incerta^ Massalongo, Flora SenigaUiese, pi. 30. 

 fig. 3. 



3. Upper portion of a narrow lanceolate leaf, probably allied to Podocarpus 



medoacensis, Mass. ibid. pi. 34. fig. 20, 



4. ? And/romeda. A small linear-lanceolate leaf, probably aUied to Andro- 



meda vetulonice, Mass. ibid. pi. 34. fig. 13. 



5. ? Quercus. Lanceolate leaf, resembling that of the Evergreen Oak (Quer- 



cus Hex). 



6. ? Quercus. Lanceolate leaf, tapering at each extremity, aUied to Quercus 



nereifolia, A. Braun in Mass. ibid. pi. 31. fig. 6. 



7. ? Mhammis. Upper portion of an acuminate leaf resembling Rhamnus 



Dechenii, Web. in Mass. ibid, plates 26 & 27, and 30. fig. 7. 



8. ? Bhamnus. Portion of an acuminate leaf, most probably identical with 



the preceding (fig. 7). 



9. 10, 11, 12, 13. CarpoHthes, undetermined. 



14. a. Elytron of a small beetle with peculiar punctation (enlarged) ; J, 



a single punctum more highly magnified. 



15. Elytron of a small beetle, rather larger in size than the preceding one 



(fig. 14) and with more closely set and more numerous pimcta (en- 

 larged). 

 These minute wing-cases, the natural size of which is shown by the ad- 

 jacent Hues, in shape and mode of punctation are not unlike those of the
