FOSSIL FLOEA OF SAGrOE, IX CA.EXIOLA. 567 



which I discovered in it are to be found also at Savine, excepting 

 Ileliotrop ites 'parvifolius. 



11. Trifail. The beds resting upon the coal strata are rich in 

 different plant-remains, which mostly occur in a dark grey indurated 

 clay, like that of the locality No. 2. The most interesting of the 

 species collected here are the following : — Gf/stoseira communis, 

 Taxodium distichum miocenicum, Pinus palcBO-tcBda^ Fagus Feronice, 

 Castanea atavia, BanJcsia Haidingeri, Bumelia scahra^ Diospyros 

 hceringiana, Sapindophyllum paradoxum, Carya trifailensis^ Prunus 

 mohihana, and P. palceo-cerasus. 



12. Hrastnigg. I obtained from a coal-pit the following species 

 of fossil plants, which occur in a light-grey marl: — Hypnum 

 sagorianum, Glyptostrohus europceus^ Secpioia Couttsice, Typha latis- 

 sima^ Ci)i7Utmomum polymorphum^ Banksia longifolia, Bumelia 

 Oreadum, Andromeda protogcea^ Avoectomeria Brongniartii, NymplicBa 

 gypsorum, Eucalyptus oceanica, and Phaseolites microphyllus. Of 

 these, nine occur also at Savine. 



13. Bresno. In a yellowish-grey marl here I found well-pre- 

 served fossil plants belonging to the following species : — Glypto- 

 strohus europcBus^ Sequoia Tournalii and Couttsice, Carpinus Heerii^ 

 Ficus tynx and humelicefolia, Cinnamomum polymorplium^ BanJcsia 

 longifolia, Sapotacites sideroccyloides and emarginatus, Mimusops 

 tertiaria, Bumelia Oreadum, Andromeda protogcea. Celastrus proto- 

 gcBus, and Eucalyptus oceanica. 



14. Tiiff'er. The fossil plants occur in a light or somewhat 

 reddish-grey marl-slate resembling that of Savine. I found there 

 many well-preserved fossils belonging to Hypnum sagorianum, 

 Glyptostrohus europceus, Sequoia Couttsice, Pinus p)alceo-tceda, Typha 

 latissima, Myrica salicina, Castanopsis .sagoriana, Quercus Lonchitis, 

 Ficus sagoriana and humelicefolia, Pisonia eocenica, Hedycarya 

 europcea, Laurus Haueri, Cinnamomum polymorphum, BanJcsia 

 longifolia, Sapotacites sideroxyloides, Bumelia Oreadum, Andromeda, 

 protogcea, Celastrus protogceus, Eucalyptus oceanica, Eugenia Apol- 

 linis. 



I proceed now to explain the general results of my investigations 

 of the Sagor fossil flora : — 



Istly, the fossil flora of Sagor contains at least 170 genera and 

 3S7 species, which are distributed under 75 families. Of the species, 

 21 belong to the Cryptogamae, 18 to the Gymnospermge, 14 to the 

 Monocotyledons, 117 to the Apetalae, 61 to the Gamopetalag, and 

 15'3 to the Dialypetalae. 18 species were aquatic, but all the 

 others terrestrial plants. 



2ndly, the fossil flora of Sagor consists of two floras of diff'erent 

 ages, but immediately following one another. The beds No. 1, 

 which underlie the coal, and may be the. basement beds of the Ter- 

 tiary of Sagor, include a flora which existed in the last section of 

 the Eocene period. The other beds, resting upon the coal, contain 

 the remains of a flora belonging to the first section of the Miocene 

 period. 



3rdly. In consequence of the great diversity of fossil plants, and
