Obs . — This species differs from the preceding species by its compound 
leaves. The leaflets are sessile or possess a short pctiolule. Their form is 
lanceolate, slightly inequilateral, acuminate at both ends; the borders are 
toothed, their teeth being minute, close, and thickened. The nervation is 
like that of the preceding species, yet its secondary nerves quit the primary 
one under more acute angles. (Sec Pig. 16 a, magnified.) 
It corresponds exactly to Ceratopetalum gummiferum, Smith, living in 
Australia, from which it only differs, perhaps, by its secondary nerves being 
more curved along the borders, whereby we suppose that the leaves arc tri- 
foliate like those of the just mentioned species. 
Locality and Horizon . — With the preceding species.

Obs . — The fossil fruit of this species has been found at Elsmore. A 
specimen is represented in PI. XIY, fig. 4. Its shape is oval, and surface 
wrinkled, furrowed. There are three fine furrows visible on the free side, 
running from flic base to the apex of the fruit in symmetrical distribution. 
The latter fact indicates the existence of five such furrows, which regularly 
divide the fruit into five parts. Two of these, laying on the opposite side, 
adhere to the matrix of the fossil and are consequently invisible. I have 
described and figured a similar fruit from the Tertiary Elora of Tasmania 
(Contributions, etc., Part I, PI. YI, figs. 9-12), but its shape is narrower 
towards both ends, and its furrows are less prominent than on the above-
