PROFESSOR HEER ON THE FOSSIL FLORA OF NORTH GREENLAND. 481 
Pl. xiii. figs. 2-5 of my 4 Flora Arctica ’ belong, I believe, to this species. The midrib 
has many strong secondary nerves. 
The systematic position of this and the last species is very doubtful. Leaves of this 
form and nervation are found in the Miocene in many localities, but I cannot refer them 
to any genus. I have provisionally placed them under Pterospermites , because Ptero- 
spermum acerifolium presents similar leaves. In these also we observe, below the strong 
opposite secondary nerves, more delicate ones, like the leaves of Credneria. 
Count Saporta has described leaves having this nervation as Pterospermites and 
Grewiopsis. (Prod, d’une FI. Foss, de Sezanne, p. 402 ; an(l Ann. des Sc. Nat. 1866, 
p. 46.)

xlviii. figs. 3-6. 
In the leaves figured in the ‘Flora Arctica’ the apex is wanting. Mr. Whymper’s col- 
lection contains one, however, which is toothed, acute, and tapered to the apex (Plate L. 
fig. 17). Plate LY. fig. 1 is a very large leaf, with the secondary nerves strongly 
curved, and forming large arches ; the surface is smooth

ceolatis, sparsim crenulatis ; nervo medio valido, nervis secundariis subtilibus valde 
antrorsum curvatis, camptodromis ; areis confertissime evidenter reticulatis. Ilab. 
Atanekerdluk. 
This leaf, of which the base and apex are wanting, must have been very long, narrow, 
coriaceous, tapering towards the apex, and toothed ; the teeth small, distant, and obtuse. 
Tiie midrib is strong, the secondary nerves spring at acute angles ; they are strongly 
curved and form large arches. The areas are divided by delicate nervules, and filled 
with a still more delicate reticulation. (Plates XLIY. figs. Hi, magn. 11 b, b ; and 
LY. fig. 2, magn. 2 b.) 
This species differs from I. longifolia and I. reticulata in the secondary nerves, which 
are more curved towards the apex and in the obtuse teeth. Juglans Heerii , Ett., and 
J. elcenoides, Ung., have similar leaves, but they are not so coriaceous, the secondary 
nerves are less curved upwards, and the teeth are sharper. 
XXX. Celastrine.-e. 
65. Euonymus amissus, Hr., Plate LYI. fig. 10, magn. 10 b. Capsula trigona, loculis 
oblongis. Hab. Atanekerdluk. 
Fruit, 9 millims. long, each carpel 3 millims. broad, oblong, obtusely rounded at the 
apex, with a longitudinal stripe in the middle. It agrees with the fruit of Puonymus, 
in having strongly projecting carpels.
