Ettingsliausen, in the list of Sheppey fossils published in the ' Proceedings of the Royal Society,' and 



already referred to, admits the following : 



Callitris curta, Bow. 

 C. Comptonii, Bow. 

 Solenostrobus subangidatus, Bovr. 

 S. corrugatus. Bow. 

 S. sulcatus, Bow. 

 iS. semiplotus. Bow. 

 Cupressinites elongatus. Bow. 



C. recurvatus, Bow. 

 C. subfusiformis, Bow. 

 C. globosus, Bow. 

 Hybotha crassa. Bow. 

 Sequoia Bowerbankii, E. & G. 

 Pinus Sheppey ensis, E. & G, 

 Salisburia eoceenica, E. & G. 



The only species which I am able to admit, of the entire number, are the first and the last on the list, 

 but I add a new Callitris, Podocarpus, Athrotaxis, and Sequoia. Similarly in the list of the Alum Bay 

 Flora the foUowino- occur : 



Glyptostrobus europoeus, Brong. 

 Callitris curta. Bow. 

 Cupressinites globosus, Bow. 



Sequoia Langsdorfii, Brong. 

 Sequoia Couttsice, Heer. 

 Podocaipus eoccenica, Ung. 



I am thoroughly acquainted with the specimens on which the above are based, and I do not think they 

 afford satisfactory grounds for supposing these Coniferm to occur at Alum Bay. The beds there are 

 singularly poor in Coniferce, and all the known specimens of true Conifers belong to a single polymorphic 

 species, which the attached fruit shows to be Podocaipus elegans.
