works. They show a bluish-grey shale, which seldom contains 

 fossils. As yet only the following species have been discovered : — 

 Gly]ptostrohns eurojjceus, Sequoia Couttsice, Ficus sagoriana, F. hume- 

 Ucefolia, BanJcsia longifolia^ Andromeda j)rotogcea, and Eucalyptus 

 oceanica, all very common in the beds ISTos. 2, 8, 9, 11, and 14. 



5. Beds near Sagor, containing fossil fishes, but very few fossil 

 plants. They occur in a grey indurated clay, and the latter includes 

 Gly]ptostrohus eurojpceus^ Sequoia Couttsice^ Ficus huonelicefolia, Cin- 

 namomum jpolymorjpJium, Bumelia oreadum, and Andromeda jpro- 

 togcea. 



6. Beds called " Tagbau Schichte II.," near Sagor. The fossil 

 plants are here to be found in a light or yellowish-grey indurated clay, 

 and belong to CJiara Ungeri, Ch. Langeri, GlyiJtostrohus eurojpceus, 

 Sequoia Couttsice^ Zostera Ungeri, Oastanea atavia, Quercus LoncJiitis, 

 Ficus humelicefolia, Pisonia eocenica, BanJcsia Jongifolia, Apocyno- 

 jjhyllum hreve-joetiolatum, Andromeda protogcea, Rohinia crenata, 

 Dalhergia hcerifigiana, Cassia palceogcea, and Podogonium Lyelli- 

 anum. 



7. Close by the viUage of Grodredesch, near Sagor, there are some 

 beds consisting of dark-grey indurated cla)", like that of the beds 

 No. 2. They contain plant-remains which have been referred to 

 11 species. With the exception of Myrsine Fndymionis, Cussonia 

 amhigua, and Pistacia palceo-lentiscus, these also occur in the beds 

 No. 2. 



8 and 9. Near the village of Savine, in the neighbourhood of 

 Sagor, there are two very rich localities of fossil plants. The beds 

 consist of a light- or yellow-grey marl, which contains weU- 

 preserved fossils. From this I have obtained a flora consisting of 

 313 species, which form the principal part of the fossil flora of 

 Sagor. The locahty No. 8 is the quarry from which the most 

 valuable fossils came. Of these I mention the following as possess- 

 ing special interest : — Muscites savinensisj Bleclinum Braunii, two 

 forms of Equisetum, Cunningliamia miocenica, SmiJax paucinervis, 

 Pandanus carniolicus, Laurelia rediviva, Laurus stenojphylla^ Litscea 

 dermatophyllum, Conospermum macrophyllum, Cenarrhenes Raueri, 

 Persoonia cuspidata, two forms of HaTcea, Enbotlirium stenospermum, 

 Lomatia oceanica, Olea carniolica, Fraxinus primigenia, Sapotacites 

 chamcedrys, Diospyros hilinica, Symplocos savinensis, Callicoma mi- 

 cropJiylla, Clematis sagoriana, Tetrapteris minuta, six species of 

 Celastrus, Pomaderris acuminata, Ptelea intermedia, AilantJius Ori- 

 onis, Vochysia europcea, and nine species of Papilionaceae. 



The locality No. 9 is the top of a coal-^^it from which the fossil 

 plants came. I have selected for mention a few of the many new 

 forms which I found there : — Actinostrohus miocenicus, Leptomeria 

 distans, EmhotTirium macropterum, Hotelcea rectinervis, Fraxinus 

 savinensis, Alstonia carniolica, CTirysopliyllum sagorianum, Vacci- 

 nium palceo-myrtillus, LorantJius palceo-exocarpi, Bomhax sagoria- 

 num, Pittosporum palceo-tetraspermum, and Ptelea microcarpa. 



10. Islaak, near Sagor. The fossil plants occur here in greyish 

 white marl, looking somewhat like that of Savine. All the fossils
