Locality and Horizon. — Witherden’s Tunnel, Two-mile, near Emma- 
villc (Vegetable Creek Township), on Vegetable Creek Main Deep Lead ; 
brown carbonaceous clay, under basalt. New stead, near Elsinore; in concre- 
tionary ironstone (earthy limonite), associated with basalt. 
DlEMENIA PERSEiEFOLIA, Sp. HOC.

Sp. Char. — D. foliis oblongo-lanceolatis, integerrimis, utrinque angus- 
tatis ; nervatione camptodrama ; nervo primario pervalido, recto ; nervis 
secundariis subangulis 55-05° orientibus, validis, leviter arcuatis, simplicibus, 
marginem adscendcntibus ; nervis tertiariis distinctis simplicibus vel furcatis, 
inter se conj unctis, fere transversariis. 
Ohs . — Closely allied to the preceding species, lint deviating from it by 
somewhat stronger and more approximate secondary nerves, and by the 
tertiary ones, which are more or less oblique to the axis of the leaf. The 
fossil shows a breadth of 4 centimeters, and a length of about 10 centi- 
meters. It accordingly almost perfectly agrees with the leaves of Diemenia 
spcciosa respecting size and form, as well as the remaining marks of 
nervation. 
Locality and Horizon. — Newstead, near Elsmore, with the preceding.

Ohs. — We have here leaves which come from Vegetable Creek and 
Elsmore. Though agreeing with the leaf from Dalton, near Gunning, in all 
essential characters, they are smaller. The present fossils betray a thick, 
coriaceous consistence like that of Dalton. On one of the specimens a 
Laurus-Yiike network is visible, represented in the enlarged Eig. 2a. The 
determination of the genus which was before open to a degree of uncertainty, 
lias been essentially strengthened. 
Locality and Horizon. — Newstead, near Elsmore, with the preceding. 
Fox and Patridge’s claim, between Rose Valley and the Red Hill, 2 miles 
from Emmaville (Vegetable Creek Township) ; ironstone shale from the 
Newer Leads, under basalt.
