There are some leaves which I have thought worth figuring, hut, on account 
of their imperfect condition, not good enough to name, as their affinities are 
consequently uncertain. They are as follow :— 
Specimen No. 82, shown on Plate V., Fig. 12, suggests Dammara . 
Specimen No. 250, Plate VI., Fig. 8, may be Tristanites. kJo. 124, Plate 
VL, Fig. 10, suggests Nephelites. 
Among some specimens furnished by Mr. T. S. Hall, M.A., of the Mel¬ 
bourne University, obtained from Wilson’s quarry, Berwick, there are two 
specimens specially worthy of notice ; one lias a remarkable resemblance 
to Fcigus Hookeri , Ett., from Vegetable Creek, New South Wales (Contr. 
Tert. FI. Austr., PI. X., Fig. 11); the other is that of a eucalypt-like 
leaf, of ovate and nearly symmetrical shape, with the principal lateral veins 
wider apart than usual, and with the intramarginal vein at a distance from 
the margin. 
DICOT YLEDQNEiE. 
POLYPETALiE ? 
Tiliace.e. 
Aristotelia, sp. nov. ? 
Plate V., Fig. 10. 
On specimen No. 273 is preserved a leaf, the margins of which are not too 
well defined. Some fresh unvarnished specimens might suggest a different 
determination, but as far as one can judge from the appearance of the leaf 
as it exists, the margin towards the apex, which appears to have been lan¬ 
ceolate acuminate, is finely toothed, strongly resembling some specimens in 
my possession of Aristotelia pedunculata, J. Hooker, from Tasmania. It may 
therefore be convenient to provisionally include it in that genus. 
Sterculiace^e. 
Gommerconia, sp. nov. ? 
Plate VI., Fig. 1. 
The fragment preserved in specimen No. 120 has all the characters of the 
tips of a Commerconia leaf; I can see no objection to including it pro¬ 
visionally in that genus. Further discoveries may prove it to have other 
affinities, but till that occurs it is convenient to include it under the above 
genus, which has representatives in eastern Australia at the present day. 
DISCIFLOR.R. 
Sapindacea;. 
Nephelites quercifolia, sp. nov. 
Plate V., Fig. 11. 
Portion of a leaf or pinna, evidently about If inches in length, ovate, 
almost rhomboidal, oblique, margins irregularly dentate, sinuate, or crenate. 
Midrib well marked, slightly curved, lateral veins proceeding from the midrib 
on the right side at a larger angle than on the left. 
I have taken the leaf contained in specimen No. 256 to be a pinna of a com¬ 
pound leaf, and as the Sapindacese contain leaves of similar characters, I 
have included it under my genus Nephelites. I know of no fossil leaf described 
and figured which resembles this one. Some of the forms of the leaflets of 
Panax Gun?iii, J. Hooker, a Tasmanian species, are not unlike the specimen.
