The object of this brief ])aper is: 1, to call attention to the

No. 2 of the second section; 2. to emphasize our lack of data 
for a thoroughly satisfactory correlation of the plant bearing 
beds of the Eocene of the (Julf states; 3, to call attention to 
the excellently jjrescrvcd fossil ])lants foumi at Old Port

Sali.r fabe//(iris / Lx. A single rather doubtful leaf.

This material appears to belong to the so-called eo-lignitic. 
Of the seven species determined s))ecifically four or five have
