recently both Staub * and Tuzson 2 have published additions to this flora, 



which is usually considered to be of Cenomanian age, although it may 



possibly be Turonian. The following forms are recorded : 



Cedrela hazslinszkyi Unger 



Comptonites antiquus Nilsson 



Cryptomerites hungaricus Tuzson 



Dicksonia punctata Sternberg 



Oeinitzia cretacea Endlicher 



Juranyia hemifla'bellata Tuzson (a palm) 



Melastromites parvula Unger 



Pagiophyllum sp. Tuzson f— Brachyphyllum or Echinostro'bus) 



Pecopteris linearis Sternberg 



Perseoxylon antiquum Felix 



Phyllites sturi Unger (Myrtacea) 



Pterosphermum cretaceum Unger 



Salvertia transylvanica Unger (Vochysiaceos) 



Widdringtonites fastigiatus Endlicher 



The Tyrol and Austria 



The Gosau beds, so named from the Gosau (Neue Alp) valley near 

 Salzbourg, have been identified from scattered localities in the Tyrol and 

 Bavaria, through the Austrian Alps, in southern Styria, and possibly in 

 the Bakony Wald, etc., to Transylvania. 3 They represent a considerable 

 time interval, and contain, where typically developed, a rich fauna of a 

 Mediterranean facies, as well as the fragmentary remains of Mososaurs 

 and Dinosaurs. There are also intercalated fresh-water or estuarine 

 lignitic beds with fossil plants. 



The relative ages and exact correlation of these scattered outcrops has 

 been the occasion of prolonged discussion, the concensus of opinion being
