MYRICLML. 
Myrica Iyonincki, sp . nov. 
riate IX, Figs. G, 7. 
Sp. Char. — M. fructibus globosis granulosis, foliis membranaceis 
oblongis vcl obovato-oblongis, basi attenuatis, apice rotundato-obtusis, margine 
serratis ; nervatione camptodroma ; neryo primario prominente, recto, apicem 
versus yalde attenuato ; nervis secundariis angulis subrectis egredientibus, 
tenuibus ; nervis tertiariis sparsis tenuissimis dictyodromis. 
Ohs. — The leaf is oblong or cuneate- ovate, membranaceous, narrowed 
to the base, on the less narrowed apex roundly obtuse ; the borders minutely 
serrate. The camptodrome nervation shows a pretty strong primary nerve, 
some thin secondary nerves proceeding from each side of the latter under 
scarcely acute or nearly right angles. The tertiary nerves are very thin, and 
taking their rise from the outer side of the secondary at acute angles, pass 
into a network, consisting of thin meshes, which resembles very much that 
of a Myrica. I am of opinion that the described fossil might belong to the 
latter genus, as a series of fossil leaves of Myrica betray a more or less 
striking likeness to it. It seems especially to be closely related to Myrica, 
deperdita, Ung., departing from it only by its teeth, which are smaller and 
begin lower on the margin. 
An important fact as affirming the existence of the genus Myrica in 
the Tertiary Flora of Australia is that a fruit (Fig. 7) has been found bearing 
all the characters of that genus, especially by its globular shape and finely 
granulous surface. 
Locality and Horizon. — Fox and Partridge’s claim, between Pose 
Valley and the Ped Hill, 2 miles from Emmaville (Vegetable Creek Town- 
ship) ; ironstone shale in Newer Lead (stanniferous) under basalt. New- 
stead, near Elsmore, in concretionary ironstone (earthy limonite), associated 
with basalt. 
Myrica tseudosalix, sp. nov. 
Plate IX, Figs. 5, 5 a. 
Sp. Char. — M. foliis subcoriaccis, oblongo-ovatis, basi in petiolum 
angustatis, apice obtusis, integerrimis ; nervatione camptodroma ; nervo 
primario distincto, recto ; nervis secundariis approximatis, tenuibus, sub 
angulo acute orientibus, tertiariis ramosis dictyodromis.
