diverging from the primary at scarcely acute angles, and joined together by 
marginal loops. The tertiary nerves diverging and anastomosing in right 
angles, form a sparingly developed net, represented in Pig. 19a, magnified. 
The above distinguishing characters have indeed facilitated the deter- 
mination of this fossil, which might, perhaps, have proved difficult under 
other circumstances. There are only a few genera exhibiting leaves similar 
to the fossil, namely, Boronia, Weinmannia, and Zanthoxylon. Weinmannia 
and Zanthoxylon possess no leaves hearing oil glandules. Zanthoxylon does 
not show any species possessing such small and coriaceous leaves like our 
fossil ; besides, we may take into consideration that this genus is wanting in 
the present Plora of Australia. Only Boronia remains, an Australian endemic 
genus in which types very similar to the fossil are to he found. I mention 
here only B. variabilis, Ilook., B. psoralioides, He Cand., B. crassifolia, Barte., 
and B. alata, Smith. The two first named species have uni- or bi-jugate leaves, 
whilst B. crassifolia possesses hi- three- jugate, and B. alata five-jugate leaves. 
As at least one lateral leaflet and a considerable part of the rachis arc wanting 
on our fossil, it is at present impossible to determine whether it originally 
possessed one or more pairs of leaflets. In order, therefore, to be enabled to 
point out the living species nearest related to the fossil, complete material 
must be at our command.
