As recorded by Sir William Dawson similar fragments of oak leaves, possibly of the 

 same species, have been found in many localities throughout western Canada, including Quesnel, 

 British Columbia ; the Rod Deer river ; the Similkameen and Omineea rivers ; and the Lignite 

 Tertiary of Roche Percee, Souris river and Porcupine creek, Saskatchewan. 



Quercus antiqua, Newb. 



Bib : Trans. R.S.O., I, 1882-83, iv, 32 ; IV, 1886, iv, 27 : Lat. Ex. Flor., XXXV, 1868, 26. 



Dawson's reference to this oak is to show that in the Laramie beds of Canada there is a 

 species probably allied to Q. anligua of Newberry, which the latter determined to be of 

 Dakota age, as found at Rio Dolores, Utah. The reference is therefore a doubtful one, but 

 may indicate the same species as cited by Dawson from the Lignite Tertiary of Porcupine 

 creek, though not named. 



Quercus castanopsis, NewD. 



Bib : Lat. Ex. FL, XXXV, 7, pi. LVI, f. 4 : Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., V, 1882, 605. 



Newberry records Quercus castanopsis from the Fort Union group of the Yellowstone 

 river, Montana, as the only locality at present known within the United States. The species 

 was unknown to the Canadian Tertiary until 1904, when it was brought to notice through 

 collections from Quilchena, made by Ells and Johnston. 



Quercus consimilis, Newb. 



Bib : Lat. Ex. Fl., XXXV, 71, pi. XLII, f. 2-5 : Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., V, 1882, 505. 



The Quilchena collection of 1906 embraced a few broken specimens, with two fairly com- 

 plete leaves of Quercus eonsimilis. The only United States record for this species is from the 

 Miocene of Bridge creek and the John Day valley, Oregon. 



Quercus dallii, Lesq. 



Bib : Trans. R.S.C., VIII, 1890 ■Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., V, 1882,446 : Cret. and Tert. Fl. 259. 



Quercus dallii was described by Newberry on the basis of specimens obtained from Cook 

 inlet, Alaska. No other locality is known except the north fork of the Similkameen river, 

 from which Sir "William Dawson obtained specimens in 1890. 



Quercus denloni, Lesq. 



Bib : Trans. R.S.C., I, 1895 : Cret. and Tert. Fl., 1883, 224. 



A sparingly distributed species which has been obtained by Lesquereux from the Fort 

 Union group of the Bad Lands, Dakota, and from the Montana formation of Point of Rocks 

 "Wyoming. The only Canadian locality at present known is Burrard inlet, British Columbia. 



Quercus ellisiana, Lesq. 



Bib : Trans. R.S.C., VIII, 1902, iv, 46 : U.S. Geol. Surv. Terr., 1871, 297 : Ter. Fl., 1878. 



The Livingstone beds and the Laramie group of Bozeman, Montana, are the only United 

 States localities known for Quercus ellisiana. Penhallow recorded it from the Red Deer 

 river in 1902.
