360 = LL, Lesquereux on Fossil Fruits of Brandon, Vt. 
well agree with Laurus princeps Heer, (1. c. vol. ii, page 77, tab. 
89, fig. 176) from the upper tertiary of Europe, especially abun- 
ant at Giningen. 
No. 15. Cinnamomum Nove-Anglie, sp. nov. (Fig. 148.) Fruit 
small, one sixth of an inch in diameter, globular, enlarged above, 
narrowed below to an obscurely costate point, apparently a bro- 
ken pedicel, smooth. 
I could not discover on the specimen the horizontal stria 
marked on the figure. The fruit resembles that of a Cinnamo- 
mum, a genus well represented in the different stages of the 
tertiary of Europe. Of nine species described by Prof. Heer, 
five are found at Hningen. This genus as it is established by the 
same author is also represented in the Tertiary of America. 
Among a small number of fossil leaves collected by Dr. J. Evans 
in the Tertiary of Vancouver, there are specimens of two fine 
species of leaves of Cinnamomum., One other is abundant in 
the strata of the Tertiary of Mississippi (State). 
No. 16. Liliciwm lignitwm, sp. nov. (Fig. 149.) Seed small, one 
eighth of an inch long, oval, pointed, marked at the bers by a 
small scar and by a ring on one side, very smooth and shining. 
I can not but refer this seed to Zihciwm. It is a little thicker 
and more pointed than that of Jilicium anisatum of China; but 
genera, vol. i, pag. 56.) On ie ener with the published 
i, pag. 60, tab. 21, fig. 14) from the Miocene of Switzerland. 
The lik h 
putamen is pretty thick, very hard, bony, and in all the speci 
mens that A he broken the kernel has been destro ed or the 
seed is empty. The kernel is covered with a brownish skin, 15° 
that enveloping the albumen of the seeds of the Pines. jt 
ever the affinity of these seeds with those of a Pine is rendere 
doubtful by the absence of every trace of a wing in a Ne 
Specimens, six in number, that I have seen. 
No, 18. Carpinus grandis? Heer (I. 64 vol. i, pag. 40, tab. 72, 
fig. 15.) Nutlet oval, about one eighth of an inch in length, 
ribbed or striated.
