Cyperites haydenii, Lesq. 



Bib : Trans. E. S. C, XIII, 1907, iv : Cret. and Tert. FL, 1883, 140. 



The only Canadian locality for this species is the Kettle river, B.C., from which specimens 

 were obtained by Dr. R. A. Daly in 1905. It was recorded by Lesquereux in 1883, from the 

 Green River group of Uinta county, Wyoming, It is evidently a rare though widely 

 distributed species. 



Cyperites paueinervis, Heer. 



Bib: Trans. R. S. C, I, 1895, iv, 137-161 : Fl. Tert. Helv., I, 79, 1885. 



Sir William Dawson recorded this species from Burrard inlet in 1895. There is no 

 further knowledge of it in Canadian localities, nor has it been recorded for the United States, 

 but it is a type which Heer has recognized in the Tertiary of Europe. 



Davallia tenuifolia, Sw. 

 Bib : Trans. R. S. C. IV, 1886, iv, 19-34 : B.KA. Bound. Com., 1874-75, App. A. 329. 



The only American record for Davallia tenuifolia is contained in Sir William Dawson's 

 report on the flora of the Lignite Tertiary in the British North American Boundary Com- 

 mission's report, and in a subsequent account of Laramie plants as contained in the Trans- 

 actions of the Royal Society of Canada for 1886.

A single leaf of this tree was obtained by Dr. Gr. M. Dawson from the Blackwater river 

 in 1875. It has also been reported from the Laramie of Evanston, Wyoming, and from the 

 Eocene? of Cherry creek, Oregon and Bellingham bay, Washington. In Alaska it is met 

 with at Port Graham. It is likewise a European species. 



Dombeyopsis islandica, Heer. 



Bib : Geol. Surv. Can., 1875-76 : Cat. Cret. and Tert. Fl., 1898, 90. 



Only one record for this plant is found in material from Quesnel, as given by Dr. Dawson 

 in 1875, but four species are found in the Laramie and Denver groups of the United States. 



Dry OTphy Hum Stanley anum, Dn. 



Bib : Trans. R. S. C, I, 1895, iv, 147, pi. VII, 13 : Cret and Tert. FL, VIII, 244, pi. LIII, f.8 

 —14 ; LVI, f. 1--2 : Cat. Cret. and Tert. Tl., 1898, 90. 



In the Quilchena collection there was one specimen consisting of the base of a leaf which 

 is probably identical with Dryophyllum stanleyanum of Dawson. Sir William Dawson how- 

 ever, seemed to have some doubts as to the precise identity of his specimen, since he remarks 

 that it bears a strong resemblance to Quercus fureinervis, Rossm, as described by Lesquereux 

 from the Miocene of Bridge Creek, Oregon, although it seems distinct. And he further 

 remarks that it may eventually prove to be a Laurus or a Magnolia. The doubts thus
