Premna Drtjmmondii, sp. nov. 
Plate VI, Fig. G. 
Johnston, Notes, etc., Papers and Proc. R. Soc. Tasmania, for 1881 [Gth Plate], fig. 2, and 
[Sth Plate], figs. 25 and 26. 
Sp. Char. — P. foliis coriaceis ovato-rotundis, integerrimis ; nevatiune 
camptodroma; nervo primario valido, subflexuoso ; ncrvis secundariis pro- 
minentibus, subangulis 80-90° orientibus, arcuatis flexuosis, marginem versus 
ramosis ; nervis tertiariis angulo subrecto egredientibus tenuibus flexuosis. 
Ohs . — Pounded, coriaceous, entire leaves, with camptodromic venation. 
The midrib is very prominent, and somewhat flexuose. The secondary veins 
are strong, somewhat flexuose, and issuing at nearly right angles, tlie tertiary 
veins at slightly acute and right angles. The leaves are remarkably similar 
to those of the Australian Premna ohtusifolia, P. Brown (Ettingshausen, 
Blattskelete der Dicotyledonen, PI. XXXI, fig. 8) ; but the latter appear 
to have more branched and connected tertiary veins than the fossil. 
I named the species after the deserving botanist, Drummond, who 
made extensive travels in Australia for the purpose of exploring its flora. 
Locality and Horizon— One-tree Point and Pipeclay Bluff, Carnelian 
Bay, Estuary of the Piver Derwent, Tasmania ; Upper Tertiary beds.

Johnston, Notes, etc., Papers and Proc. R. Soc. Tasmania, for 1881 [6th Plate], fig. 1, and [Sth 
Plate], fig. 30. 
Sp. Char. — S. foliis rigide coriaceis, obovatis, cmarginatis integerrimis ; 
nervatione camptodroma ; nervo primaris valido, excurrente; nervis secundariis 
paucis distinctis, subangulis acutis variis orientibus, simplicibus vel furcatis ; 
nervis tertiariis inconspicuis. 
Ohs. — These leaf remains reveal their affinity to species of Sapotacites 
undoubtedly, and especially to the S. minor , from the tertiary strata of 
Europe. The above-described species differs from the latter only in its less
