DE. HEEE ON THE FOSSIL FLOEA OF BOVET TEACET.

towards the apex. This leaf is very like Ficus ohtusata, Heer*, and belongs perhaps 
rather to this species ; but as the specimen is incomplete, it is better to unite it with 
Ficus Falconeri. It may be that the areoles of the small areas are not so long 
(cf. fig. 1 a a magnified, and \ a a a still more magnified) as those of Ficus ohtusata. 
They are quite covered with little warts. The secondary nerves of the leaf in question 
are also very delicate, and united in strongly curved arches at the end. The areas are 
di’vided by means of delicate nervules into secondary areas, in which is the fine polygonal 
reticulation (fig. 1 a a). 
15. Ficus Pengellii, m. (Plates LXV. figs. 7 & 8, and LXVI. fig. 3.) 
F. foliis coriaceis, longe petiolatis, confertissime granulatis, ellipticis, basi apiceque 
attenuatis, nervis secundariis remotis, angulo acuto egredientibus, valde curvatis. 
The leaf represented in fig. 8 shows the same peculiar sculpture as the former species 
(cf. fig. 8 b, where the portion of a leaf is magnified); it is more indistinct in the second 
leaf (fig. 7), which belongs to the same species. The species in question differs from the 
former one in the elliptical form of the leaf, which has no long point, and the acute 
angle of the secondary nerves. The leaf is broadest in the middle and equally tapered 
at both ends, so that the sides form pretty regular curved lines. The secondary nerves 
are delicate, springing from acute angles, strongly bent towards the apex, and thus 
form long arches. The principal areas are divided by means of delicate nervules into 
secondary areas, in which the polygonal areas are covered with very small rigid points 
that are only to be seen with the aid of a strong lens. The petiole is very long, and 
rather slender. It belongs to the same section as Ficus ‘pliytolacccefolia, Hort. Berol. 
16. Ficus eucaltptoides, m. (Plate LXV. figs. 3, 4 & 5.) 
F. foliis coriaceis, lanceolatis, confertissime granulatis, basi apiceque attenuatis, nervis 
secundariis subtilissimis, valde curvatis. 
This is another hard leathery shining leaf, but much smaller than that of the former 
species. It is broadest in the middle, and almost equally tapered towards both ends. 
It is doubtful if a petiole existed. Very delicate secondary nerves spring from the 
median neiwe ; they are jointed in strong arches. The surface is also covered with very 
delicate warts. It is like the leaf of Eucalyptus oceanica, Ung., in form, but differs 
especially in the surface, because Eucalyptus has quite a smooth leaf.
