Description of two new species of tertiary fossil plants belonging to the genera Eucalyptus and Taxites.

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.
