In 1887, Sir William Dawson recorded such leaves from the Eed Deer river. In 1890 

 he recorded what appeared to be the same leaves from the Similkameen river. In 1904, Ells 

 and Johnston obtained similar leaves from Coal gully, and they once more appear in the 

 collections of Lambe from the Horsefly river. 



Ficus asarifolia? Ett. 



Bib : Tert. Fl., 207, pi. LXI, f. 18-21. 



A single, imperfect leaf from the Horsefly river, collected by Lambe in 1906, pro- 

 bably belongs to Ficus asarifolia. This species is also found in the Laramie of Black buttes, 

 Wyoming ; in the Montana formation at Point of Rocks, Wyoming, and in the Denver beds at 

 Golden, Colorado. 



Ficus asimincefolia, Lesq. 



Bib: Trans. R.S.C., YIII, 1890, iv, 89 : Cret. and Tert. EI., VIII, 250, pi. LVI, f. 1-3. 



In Lambe's collection from the Tulameen there were a ftw leaves which appeared to 

 be identical with those figured by Sir Williarn Dawson as Ficus asimincefolia. A problem- 

 atical specimen from the Tranquille river, also in Lambe's collection for 1!)0G, presents a 

 high degree of alteration which has left a film of iron oxide, and the identification is very 

 doubtful ; but the shape and size of the blade which is complete, together with the thick 

 petiole, seem to suggest its relation as indicated. 



The only IJnited States locality for this species is that from which the original specimens 

 were obtained by Lesquereux, in the Miocene beds of Rock Corral, California. 



Ficus decandolleana, Heer. 



Bib : El. Tert. Helv., II, 66, pi. C. f. 15. 



In the material from Quilchena the collections of Lambe for 1906 contain two 

 fragments of leaves which show the base and venation, and they appear to be identical with 

 leaves of Ficus decandolleana of Europe as described by Heer. 



Ficus oecidentalis? Lesq. 



Bib : Trans. R.S C, I, 1^95. iv, 137-161 : Tert. El., 1878, 200. 



Fragments ot a doubtful character were obtained from Stanley park, Vancouver, and 

 were referred to this species by Sir William Dawson in 1895. The only other United States 

 locality is that recorded by Lesquereux at Golden, Colorado. 



Ficus populina, Heer. 



Bib : U. S. Geol. Surv. Terr , 1871, Supp. 6 : EI. Tert. Helv., II, 66, pi. LXXXVI. 



Lambe's collection of 1906 contains several well characterized fragments of Ficus 

 populina, Heer. The majority of these were from the Horsefly river, but there were also 

 several from the Tulameen. The only other United States reference to this species is to be
