It is evident that the genua was not only widely distributed in tiie Tertiary of British Columbia, but that the number of species was not leas than three or foar, possibly more. The wide distribution of such fruits and their probable reiiresentation of several species hav« been noted by previous observers, notably by Ileer, who figures a large number of forms to which he assigns specific names. The expediency of this seems very doubtful in view of tlie fact that there are no characters of sufficient importance and stability upon which to baxe specific distinctions, and it would seem far better to avoid the application of names that can serve no good purpose. Many leaves of maples also occur in the Tertiary beds of British Columbia. Some of these are represented in the present collections while others have been recorded on previous occasions by Sir William Dawson. They are sometimes found in separate beds, but more commonly in association with fruits. Precisely similar associations have been noted by Ileer for the Tertiary beds of Greenland and elsewhere, but so far as I am aware, it is as yet impos- sible to correlate such remains for the reason that they have not yet been found in direct Arir mi.
