1 Before the range of these British fossil species in other countries can be tabulated a revision of 

 some of the determinations will be necessary. So long as all the Yew-like foliage is included in one 

 species, Sequoia Langsdorfii, and all the Cryptomeria-like foliage in another, & Sternbergii, very little 

 progress in this direction can be made.
