Order, Urticales (?) 
Family, mobaceae (?) 
Ficus (?) johnstoni Berry n. sp. 
Plate XI, figure 7 
Leaves of large size, orbicular in general outline, with entire and 
evenly rounded margins. Midrib stout and prominent. Secondaries stout 
and prominent; 3 sub-opposite, camptodrome pairs, the lower approaching 
a degree of development that almost deserves the term of lateral prim- 
aries; these and the pair next above give off, on the outside, numerous 
camptodrome tertiaries; the internal tertiaries, sometimes anastomosing 
or divided by a curved subrsecondary from the midrib, are prevailingly 
percurrent. The general features of venation are well shown in the accom- 
panying figure, and although this type of leaf is commonly referred to the 
genus Ficus, it has none of the diagnostic features which would render such 
an identification conclusive. I have, therefore, queried the generic refer- 
ence, but have been influenced in retaining it in this genus because of its 
striking resemblance to the late Upper Cretaceous species Ficus spedossima 
Ward, 1 which is a somewhat larger, more elongate, more distinctly pal- 
mately veined leaf with thinner secondaries, straighter tertiaries, and a 
somewhat auriculate and deeply cordate base. 
The new species, which is named for the collector, comes from the 
Puget group at Burrard inlet. 
Family, ulmaceae 
Ulmus columbianus Berry n. sp. 
Plate XV, figure 7 
Leaves broadly ovate in form; markedly inequilateral, especially at 
the base; variable in size; short petiolate; the margin coarsely crenate, 
with inconspicuous denticulate teeth on the lower convex limb of the 
very coarse crenations. Length ranging from 6 cm. to 8 cm. Maximum 
width, at or below the middle, ranging from 3*5 cm. to 4*5 cm. Petiole 
short, stout, and curved, enlarged proximad, about 8 mm. in length. 
Midrib stout. Secondaries about 12, opposite to alternate, straight, craspe- 
dodrome pairs which give off distad on their outer sides 1 or 2 curved 
eraspedodxome branches. Internal tertiaries thin, percurrent. 
This species, which is not uncommon in the collection from Joseph 
creek, is distinct from previously described forms, and appears to afford a 
predominance of the features of the genus Ulmus, although it shows some 
resemblances to some forms that have been referred to Betula. The only 
previously described form that it resembles is the smaller leaves from the 
Upper Clarno beds of Oregon that Newberry referred to Ulmus spedosa 2 
but which Knowlton subsequently differentiated as Ulmus newberryi. Pen- 
hallow 3 recorded Ulmus spedosa from Horsefly river, Coal gully, and 
Quilchena, B>C., and it is possible that these records may represent the 
present species.
