Ohs . — The appearance of the fossil, indicating a hard leathery texture 
of loaf, shows a somewhat oblique lamina and partly inequilateral divergence 
and course of the secondary nerves thereon, a character due to leaflets. Our 
fossil, on account of the considerable size of its leaflet, belongs to a large 
compound leaf. Amongst the plants characterised by such leaves the Sapin- 
dacese, Meliacese, Cedrelaceoe, and Leguminosse, may in the present case be 
considered comparable. Respecting form, borders, and principally nervation, 
our fossil most agrees with species of the first-named family, especially of 
Cupania and Nephelium. Its nervation, which is represented in Eig. 12 a, 
enlarged, exhibits no less similarity. 
Locality and Horizon. — Bates’ Shaft, Wellington Valley Lead, Vege- 
table Creek District; indurated carbonaceous shale from Newer Deep Lead 
(stanniferous).

Ohs. — Closely allied to Celastrus europccus , Ung., of the European 
Tertiary Elora. Our species is only distinguished from it. by a broader leaf, 
being more protruded on its apex. The sole specimen hitherto found is 
represented in Eig. 9. 
Locality and Horizon.- — Between Hill and Watson’s shafts, in white 
pipeclay from the Old Rose Valley Lead, on the Main Vegetable Creek Deep 
Lead, near Emmaville (Vegetable Creek Township).
