The first account of this species is contained in Heer's Flora of Northern Canada to 

 which Sir "William Dawson's subsequent citation refers. Lesquereux, somewhat later, 

 observed it at Ohignik bay, Alaska. 



Maianthemum grandifolium, Penh. 



Bib : Trans. R.S.C., VIII, 1902, iv, 46. 



There is only one record of this plant as found in collections from the Red Deer river 

 in 1889. As indicated in the original account there are four European Tertiary representa- 

 tives of this genus, and only one American representative from the Cretaceous of Staten 

 island. As given by Schimper, and as defined by the figure of M. pusilum given by 

 Holiick, there seems to be no essential point of agreement with the Red Deer River material, 

 which represents a different specific type and requires to be separately designated. 



Maniearia sp. 



Bib : Trans. R.S.C., I, 1895, iv, 143. 



The only reference to this species is contained in Sir "William Dawson's account of plants 

 from Burrard inlet in 1895. 



Musophyllum complicatum, Lesq. 

 Bib : Tert. Fl., VII, 96, pi. XV, f. 1-6 :U.S. Geol. Surv. Terr., 1873, 418. 



The very poorly defined, leaf-like remains which Lesquereux described under the above 

 name were first obtained from the "Washakie group at Green River station, "Wyoming, and 

 from the Laramie group of Golden, Colorado. Since that time there appears to be no record 

 of its occurrence in either the United States or Canada, until the collections of Lambe 

 from the Tulameen river in 1906 brought to view several specimens presenting all the charac- 

 teristic details of structure and fragmentary condition shown in Lesquereux's figures. The 

 genus and species are without special significance, either from a biological or a stratigraphical 

 point of view. 



Myrica ? sp. 



Bib : Cret. and Tert. Fl., VIII, 145, pi. XXV, f. 3. 



In the collections from the Horsefly river in 1906 there was a specimen of a leaf which, 

 although obscure, appeared to be a Myrica, and apparently near to M. rigida, Lesq., a species 

 derived from the Green River group of Florissant, Colorado. 



Myrica sp. 

 Bib : Geol. Surv. Can., 1877-78. 



An undescribed species, recorded by Sir "William Dawson, from Mne-mile creek, 

 Similkameen river, in 1877. 



Myrica per sonata, 'Knowltou. 



Bib : U. S. Geol. Surv., Bull. 204, 1902, 33, pi. Ill, f. 2. 



A fragment of a leaf from the Horsefly river, collected in 1906, appears to be identical 

 with Knowlton's Myrica personata, derived from the Miocene of Van Home's ranch, Oregon. 

 The two localities thus given appear to be the only ones so far known for this plant.
