DE. HEEE ON THE EOSSIL ELOEA OE BOVEY TEACET. 
tion. It is oval (cf. Plate LX. fig. 50; magnified, figs. 51-53), 13 millims. in length 
and 10 millims. in breadth, and covered with scales. It resembles the fruit of the 
Eotang palm; and as the prickles and the construction of the stems point to these 
palms, we may combine these organs, and conclude that this palm grew at Bovey. 
Ill connexion with this I may mention that large pinnatifid leaves (cf. Flora Tertiaria 
Helvetiie, hi. pi. 149), which belong to a Eotang palm, have been found at Oeningen. 
I have described them as Calamopsis. The palm of Bovey belongs perhaps to this 
genus ; but I thought it better to place it in the collective genus Palmacites, which 
contains the different organs of palms which cannot yet be ranged in a fixed genus. 
These prickles have not been found at Oeningen up to the present time; and the petioles 
of Calamopsis are without prickles. Similar black prickles, however, appear in different 
genera of palms (for instance Bactris), but they are certainly most frequent in the group 
of the Calamece, Kunth {Lepidocaryince, Mart.).

It fi’equently appears in the 17th bed at Bovey. 
Three forms are distinguishable: — 1. narrow lanceolate leaves, which are strongly 
tapered at the base, and the margin of which is slightly undulated (Plates LXIV. 
fig. lh,c; LXIII. figs. 3 & 8) ; 2. narrow leaves, with almost parallel sides in the middle 
(Plate LXV. fig. 12 b ) ; 3. broad leaves, which are distinctly undulated at the margin 
(Plate LXVI. figs. 1 a & 2; LXIII. figs. 5—7). This last form is the most frequent, 
and is to be considered as the typical. These leaves are of a pretty hard texture, but 
they seem to have been less leathery than those of Q. furmnervis. There are no enthe 
leaves preserved ; however, with the aid of the different pieces we can complete one. 
They were broadest in the middle, and gradually tapered towards the petiole and apex. 
In most of the fragments the petiole is not preserved. The piece represented in Plate
