setting of the fruits on the main axis. (Fig. 14.) As yet, there are no leaves in any of the 

 later collections that can be connected with these fruits. 



Lesquereux's specimens were obtained from Evanston, "Wyoming, from Clear creek, 

 Montana, and from the Denver group of Middle park, Colorado. The present evidence, 

 therefore, leads to the belief that the species was common to the entire Tertiary area of the 

 United States and Canada. 



Leguminosites borealis, Dn.

In 1889 Sir William Dawson described a species of Leguminosites under the name 

 of L. borealis. It was found in a collection of the same year, from the Mackenzie River basin, 

 and its close resemblance to L. arachioides was noted. The very slight differences that seem 

 to distinguish it from Lesquereux's species are probably due to conditions of preservation, 

 and the two are no doubt identical.

This somewhat sparingly distributed species was first found in the Lignite Tertiary 

 of Porcupine creek and Great valley, and has since been found at Burrard inlet, British 

 Columbia. "Within United States limits it is also known in the Fort Union group of Burns 

 ranch, Montana, and in the Montana group at Point of Rocks, Wyoming.

The only Canadian locality for this species is at Burrard inlet, British Columbia, as 

 recorded by Sir William Dawson in 1895, but it has been observed by Lesquereux in the 

 Green River group of Barrell springs, Wyoming; the Eocene of Cherry and Crescent creeks, 

 Oregon ; of Elk creek, Yellowstone National Park and the Wilkinson coal field, Washington. 



Magnolia ? sp. 



Bib : Trans. R.S.C., VIII, 1890, iv, 89. 



In Lambe's collection from the Tulameen river in 1906 there were a few very imper- 

 fect fragments of leaves that appeared to belong to the genus Magnolia, but the specific 

 character could not be defined. They may be the same as similar fragments obtained from 

 the Similkameen river in 1890, and referred to the genus without further determination by 

 Sir William Dawson.
