They are incidentally mentioned however as being associated with leaves of Ficiis iuae- qualis Lesq. Specimens considerably more satisfactory were described and figured by Heer in 1874, from the lower Atane beds of Green- land— representing a geological horizon which is practically the equivalent of the Dakota group — under the name Ficus protogaea Heer* (H. Foss. Arct, 3-: 108. pi. jo. f. 5-7. See our Fig. B, 4. 5. 6.).
