Andromeda delicatula, Lesq. 



Bib : Cret. and Tert. Fl., VIII, 175, pi. XXXIV, f. 10, 11. 



This species was obtained by Lambe from the Tranquille river, and is represented 

 in his collection by two very good specimens. The original description of this plant by 

 Lesquereux was based upon material derived from the Green River group of Uinta county, 

 Wyoming. Like the last, this species is distinguished by its sparing occurrence and its 

 restriction to only two localities. 



Antholithes sp. 



These seed-like bodies of uncertain character have been found by Sir "William Dawson 

 among plants from the Similkameen river, but apart from the general statement that they 

 may be seeds of some of the associated plants, it is impossible to define their character more 

 in detail, and they are of no real value for stratigraphical purposes. 



Antholithes amissus, Heer. 



Bib : Trans. R.S.C., VII, 1889, iv, 69 : Flor. Foss. Arct., I, 1868, 139. 



Sir "William Dawson refers to this very uncertain, seed-like body as among the speci- 

 mens known to the Lignite Tertiary of Mackenzie river. The original description by Heer 

 is contained in his account of plants from the Mackenzie river, and shows a small, rounded 

 seed-like fruit about 4 mm. broad, with a somewhat truncated base. 



Aralia aceri folia, Lesq. 



Bib : Cret. and Tert. Fl., VIII, 265, pi. XLV, B, I 1. 



The Quilchena material of 1906 supplied a very limited amount of this species as repre- 

 sented by two impressions of one leaf. This is the first record of its occurrence in Canadian 

 Tertiary beds, but Lesquereux had already recognized it in the Fort Union group of the Bad 

 Lands of Dakota, as well as at Chalk blufi", California, where the formation is regarded as 

 Old Pliocene or Miocene It is evidently a species of very limited distribution, and it is 

 possible that its very sparing representation in Canada may be due to a more southern range. 



Aralia notata? Lesq. 



Bib : Trans. R.S.C., VIII, 1902, iv, 68 : Tert. FL, 237 : Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., 1888, 40. 



In the Tulameen collection of 1906, Aralia notata, Lesq , was represented by one imper- 

 fect fragment of a small leaf, in consequence of which the present determination is regarded 

 with some hesitation. "What appears to be the same leaf, ho-n ever, reappears in the collec- 

 tions from Quilchena, made in the same year, and in 1894 it was obtained from the Horsefly 

 river by Dr. G. M. Dawson. Lesquereux's determination was based upon material derived 

 from the Eocene? of Mt. Brosse, Colorado; Elk creek, Yellowstone river, Montana and 

 Yellow creek, California. 



Arundo sp. 



Bib : Geol. Surv. Can., VIII, 1894, 36, 37 C. 



During the progress of his survey work in British Columbia, in 1904, Dr. G. M. Dawson 

 obtained from the Tertiary of the Omineca river a small specimen of a monocotyledonous leaf 

 which Sir "William Dawson referred to the genus Arundo but without being able to designate 

 it specifically.
