The authors comment on the importance of the work done on the flora of the Palæozonic period, and the botanical interest that wqould attach to similar petrifactions of plants from all age of the Mesozoic period. They have had the good fortune to find excellently preserved material from the Cretaceous of Northern Japan. In the present paper they describe 18 plants from this material, which is extraordinarily rich. As hitherto there has been very little known from anatomical material of plants of this age, the present paper is by no means final, but is in the nature of a pioneer chart of the ground.
