to judge by. If more specimens could be obtained sections might be cut 
and structure investigated. The form may be the result of the flattening of 
a fleshy pericarp, or the fruit may be a compressed capsule or siliqua. 
Order ? 
Phyllites Gregorii, sp. nov. 
Plate VI., Figs. 11 and 12. 
Specimens Xos. 268 and 269 contain fragments of leaves which are interest¬ 
ing, as the type apears to be unique. The venation is perfectly clear, but, 
unfortunately, the outline is not complete, as both base and apex are wanting; 
it, is, however, evidently oblique and lopsided. The leaf seems to have been 
thin and delicate in texture; the midrib is well marked, so also are the lateral 
or secondary veins, which are nearly straight, start at an acute angle with 
the midrib, and reach the margin of the leaf; the tertiary veins are reticulate, 
but so arranged that they have a general direction at right angles to the 
secondary veins. The whole leaf, as far as it is preserved, presents a charac¬ 
teristic aspect which should be quite sufficient for identification when more 
perfect specimens are found. 
The affinities of the fossil plant are not at all clear, and I prefer at present 
to hazard no guess as to them, but it may be worth while to call attention 
to a certain general resemblance in shape which exists to the leaves of 
Agastachys oclorata , R. Br., a Tasmanian proteaceous plant—the venation, 
however, is not much like, and the texture of the fossil leaf is thinner than, 
that of the living plant referred to.
