several existing and some fossil species. The species to which it belongs 
comes under a group differing from the preceding one. I name this species 
after the English naval officer, Elinders, who, towards the close of the last 
and the beginning of the present century, made valuable discoveries in 
Tasmania*. 
Locality and Horizon. — One-tree Point and Pipeclay Bluff, Carnelian 
Bay, Estuary of the Biver Derwent, Tasmania ; Upper Tertiary Leaf beds.

00-70° orientibus, levitcr arcuatis simplicibus ; nervis tertiariis inconspicuis. 
Ohs . — A leaflet which, as regards its character, may perhaps belong to 
Cassia also ; but at present, owing to the imperfect condition of the preserva- 
tion, the question cannot be decided with any degree of certainty. In the 
meantime, and until complete specimens shall permit an exact determination 
of the genus, I place it under the collective genus Leguminosites, and name 
the species after the deserving Australian traveller, Kennedy, avIio fell a victim 
to his zeal as an explorer. 
Locality and Horizon. — Dalton, near Gunning ; in hard siliceous grit, 
reposing on Silurian rocks.

on one side, and with an indication of a lobe on the other side. There are

t Of these no diagnosis are given, as to do so would lie useless, on account of the too imperfect material. 
In view of the great importance which attaches to the exploration of the Tertiary Flora of Australia, however, 
even incomplete materials from which at least indications or hints may be derived for future researches should 
not be ignored, and we are therefore much obliged to Mr. 11. M. Johnston for the publication of his drawings of 
the plant fossils discovered by him.
