The writer has already commented * on the paleobotanical importance 

 of the Mesozoic section in Portngal. Saporta's great work, 4 the last 

 important contribution from his pen, fully treated of the late Jurassic 

 and the various Lower Cretaceous floras. The considerable flora from 

 Nazareth described in that volume (pp. 198-219) and referred to the 

 upper Albian (Vraconnian) has since been shown to be of Cenomanian 

 age. Large collections from later Cretaceous horizons in Saporta's pos- 

 session at the time of his death have never been described except in the 

 short paper by De Lima 5 published in 1900. From this work it appears 

 that there is a considerable flora from various horizons in the Upper 

 Cretaceous, namely, the flora recorded from Bussaco, which Choffat has 

 shown to be Turonian, and the plants collected at Casal dos Bernardos, 

 Yizo, Bizarros, Mira, and S. Pedro de Murcella, which are of Senonian age 

 (probably Emscherian).
