ITALY. 



By far the most important contribution to the Mesozoic Botany 

 of Italy is that by Zigno, published in parts between 1856 and 

 1885.^ In a preliminary paper published in 1853, Zigno' drew 

 attention to the close similarity of the recently discovered Lower 

 Oolite (Bathonian) plants of the Venetian Alps with those from 

 East Yorkshire. Among the Italian plants the following may be 

 mentioned as nearly allied to or identical with British Inferior 

 Oolite species ; the Yenetian flora is rich in Cyoads, the genus 

 Otoiamites being especially well represented.
