The following are the general results of Prof. Goeppert's re- 

 searches. 



A considerable number of tertiary species of plants (especially 

 Plantce cellulares) are still living. 



* Of these, eight (the species determined from the fossil woodj afford Amber. 

 t The number of species may probably be raised to about 180, by additions 

 from about 50 specimens of which the relations are barely determinable.
