Abstract

Among a very interesting collection of fossil plants, now
in the Royal Society's Museum, I have discovered a new
species of Eucalyptus. This collection contains numerous
impressions of leaves belonging to the genera Laurus, Cinnamomum,
Fagus, Magnolia, and others more difficult to
determine. The general character of these remains (at one
time carefully numbered) as well as the species Cinnamomum
polymorphoides, McCoy indicate that they probably belong
to the same horizon as the lower zone of the Launceston
Tertiary Basin.
