GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE TERRITORIES. 377 



CAEEX BeRTHOUDI, sp. 710V. 



Leaves narrow, flat, narrowly and obscurely striate, except on tlie 

 borders ; seeds numerous, flattened, 2 mill, wide, with an oval, slightly 

 pointed, and slightly broader perigynium. 



The nervation of the leaves is marked only by two veins on each 

 border, as in Cyperus arcticns Heer, Fl. of Spitzberg. The seeds, 

 apparently attached on short pedicels, resemble those of Garex antiqua, 

 Heer, of the Baltic flora, as represented PI. iii, Fig. IS, being, howev^ 

 larger, and the perigynia broader than the seeds, and distinct. 



Flabellaria zinckeni, Heer, Fl. Bornstaedt, p. 11, PI. ii. Fig. 3-4. 



By the size of the segments, and by their nervation, the numerous 

 and distinctly veined fragments found in the white metamorphic clay of 

 Golden represent exactly the Earopean species. The Bornstaedt lignitic 

 formation is considered by Heer as lowest Miocene or upper Eocene. 



Flabellaria LATAJVfiA, Stern., (Foss., FL, 1, PI. xl.) 



To this species of Sternberg, I refer a number of specimens, all of 

 striated, tubulose, long, linear leaves, like those published under this 

 name by Ettinghausen in Fl. Prom,, p. 12, PI. iii, Fig. 2-3. The striae 

 are coarse and deep, as figured by this author, but there is no remain 

 of petiole. 



Sabal goldiana, sp. nov. 



Distinct from Sabal Campbellii, Newb, by its large triquetrous or 

 rather deeply keeled petiole, the keel being nearly acute. The sides at 

 the base are 5 cent. wide. The rays appear larger than in S. Camplyellii; 

 the nervation is not more distinct. No specimen of the lower part of a 

 leaf could be obtained. 



Palmacites, species. 



Part of a trunk of palm ; an impression 15 cent, broad, slightly con- 

 cave, marked in the length hj deep, nearly regular, and equal stria), 

 separated by sharp, acute, narrow ridges, 1 mill, distant. This is not 

 referable to any fossil si)ecies published. Specific determination, how- 

 ever, is not possible. 



POPULUS ATTENUATA, Al. Br. 



Of the same character as the leaf in Fl. Fert. Helv., PL Ivii, Fig. 

 12. 



QUERCUS TRIANGULARIS, Gopp., (Schotznitz, FL, p. 15, PL vi, Fig. 



13-17.) 



Leaves ovate, attenuated to a short petiole, more abruptly narrowed 

 to' an obtuse point, borders undulate above, entire from the middle 

 downward, nervate or pinnate. 



The stone where the leaves are preserved is coarse grained, the borders 

 near the point are somewhat indistinct. The lowest pair of secondary 

 veins ascends in an acute angle from the base of the leaf, the others, neiu-ly
