I called Acer subtrilobatum, lias been collected from the tertiary strata of Shag 
Point in New Zealand. The latter differs from the Australian species only 
by its secondary nerves, which quit the primary one at more acute angles of 
divergence, and by the lobes of its leaf being less diverged from one another. 
Locality and Horizon. — Between Hill and Watson’s shafts in white 
pipeclay, from the Old Bose Valley Lead (stanniferous), on the Main Vege- 
table Creek Deep Lead, Emmaville (Vegetable Creek Township). Newstead, 
near Elsmore ; in concretionary ironstone (earthy limonite) , associated with 
basalt.

Sp. Char. — A. foliis longe pctiolatis, palmato-trilobatis, lobis integer- 
rimis, acuminatus, lobis insequalibus, patentibus, lobo medio lateralibus 
longioro et latiore ; nervationc actinodroma ; ncrvis primariis lateralibus cum 
primario angulos 30-40° includentibus ; ncrvis secundariis paucis sub angulis 
acutis variis exeuntibus, tertiariis rectangularibus, ramosis, inter se con- 
junctis ; rcte microsynammato. 
Obs. — Though I have strenuously endeavoured to class the maple-like 
leaf, Eig. 1, in another order than the Acerinese, I have not succeeded. I 
could not find any genus to which this fossil might belong, excepting Acer. 
The latter exhibits the most numerous, as well as the closest, analogies to our 
fossil in both the recent and fossil Elora. In the genus, Acer integrilobum , 
Web., from the European Tertiary Elora approaches nearest to the above- 
described species, its network being exactly like that of Acer, is represented 
in Eig. 1 a, magnified. 
Locality and Horizon. — Newstead, near Elsmore; in concretionary iron- 
stone (earthy limonite), associated with basalt.
