certain that they belong to the same species. We put them together provisionally, but 

 make the capsule the type. The seed was unfortunately only identified at the last moment, 

 too late to permit of the insertion of a photograph of the seed of the living species. 



The genus Bucklandia is now found in the India region, where it occurs in the 

 eastern Himalaya, Khasia, and Burma. It extends also into the Chinese province of 

 Yunnan, and into Sumatra. 



LIQUIDAMBAR ORIENTALE Miller var.? 



PL VIII, fig. 32. 



Several good capitula or heads of fruits have been found at Reuver and a few 

 fragments at Swalmen. We have compared them with the Chinese and American species, 

 and find that they more closely resemble L. orientate than these. Whether our fruit ought 

 to rank as a variety of L. orientate we do not feel certain. There are perhaps more fruits 

 in the head of the fossil ; but our specimens are both crushed and somewhat worn, so 

 that it is difficult to be quite certain as to the number. The fossil head does not resemble 

 the Miocene L. europaeum, as figured by Heer*. From L. ptiocaenicum Geyl. et Kink.-J- 

 it is distinguished by the much greater number of fruits in the head. 



CORYLOPSIS LIMBURGENSIS Sp. nov. 

 PL VIII, figs. 28-30. 



Semina ovata, utrinque acuminata, compressiuscula, basi*lateraliter affixa; 

 testa laevis, nitida, striatula. 



Seed ovate pointed above and below, somewhat compressed, attachment basi* 

 lateral; testa smooth and polished, minutely striate. 



Length 4.3 to 5.0 mm., breadth 2.5 mm. Brunssum. 



The two seeds of this species (figs. 28 — 30) differ somewhat in their proportions, 

 but cannot otherwise be distinguished, fig. 30 shows the reverse of 29. They show the 

 peculiar scar of attachment seen in Corylopsis, but differ from Corylopsis sinensis (fig. 31) 

 in the greater amount of lateral compression (which seems to be original and not due 

 to crushing), and in their more acute apex and base. 



Corylopsis is a small genus of 8 species, all confined to Eastern Asia. 



GENUS? 



PL VIII, figs. 33, 34. 



Seeds elongate ovate 3 keeled (and winged?).
