Ettingsbausen, in the list of Sheppey fossils published in the ' Proceedings of the Royal Society,' and 

 already referred to, admits the following : 



Callitris curta, Bow. 

 C. Comptonii, Bow. 

 Solenostrobus subangulatus, Bow. 

 S. corrugatus, Bow. 

 S. sulcatus, Bow. 

 S. semiplotus, Bow. 

 Cupressinites elongatus, Bow. 



C. recurvatus, Bow. 

 C. subfusiformis, Bow. 

 C. globosus, Bow. 

 Ilybotha crassa, Bow. 

 Sequoia Bowerbankii, E. & G. 

 Pinus Sheppey ensis, E. & G. 

 Salisburia eoccenica, E. & G. 



The only species which I am able to admit, of the entire number, are the first and the last on the list, 

 but I add a new Callitris, Podocarpus, Athrotaxis, and Sequoia. Similarly in the list of the Alum Bay 

 Flora the following; occur : 



Glyptostrobus europoeus, Brong. 

 Callitris curta, Bow. 

 Cupressinites globosus, Bow. 



Sequoia Langsdorjii, Brong. 

 Sequoia Couttsice, Heer. 

 Podocarpus eoccenica, Ung. 



I am thoroughly acquainted witb the specimens on which the above are based, and I do not think they 

 afford satisfactory grounds for supposing these Coniferce to occur at Alum Bay. The beds there are 

 singularly poor in Coniferce, and all the known specimens of true Conifers belong to a single polymorphic 

 species, which the attached fruit shows to be Podocarpus elegans.
