Ohs. — The unequal base shown by the fossil, Tig. 9, is indicative of a 
leaflet. Its similarity with the leaflets of the previous species and of Cerato- 
petalum bilinicum, on the one hand, and with the leaflets of the still existing 
C. arbutifolium , ou the other hand, renders it probable that it also belongs to 
the genus Ceratopetalum. The described fossil differs from the leaflets of 
the two first-named species in its more prominent and more roughly serrated 
margin, and in its more obtuse-angled secondary veins. Hence the inde- 
pendence of the C. pncarbutoidcs with reference to the fossil species quoted 
must be assumed. As regards the still existing species, all the characters 
present are so similar that the species might be considered as identical. More 
complete specimens must be found, however, before this point can be 
decided.

Ohs . — A leaf fossil, whose form can be easily restored, and which, 
together with the texture and venation, points to Magnolia. Among the species 
of that genus whose occurrence in the Tertiary Elora lias been proved by means
