Abstract

The following descriptions and observations are principally
based upon collections made recently in a tour of examination
of the rocks in the southernmost part of the island, and
particularly that portion lying between Southport and South
Cape. Some of the plants referred to, however, have been
obtained from the coal measures near Spring Bay, and others
from the tertiary leaf beds underlying the basaltic cap at the
Forest, near Glenora railway station. Includes illustrative plate
