associated stock purchase rights under the registrant’s shareholder rights

Pursuant
to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, this registration statement
shall be deemed to cover any additional shares which become issuable as a
result of a stock split, stock dividend or similar
transaction.

|
Solely
for the purpose of computing the registration fee in accordance with Rule
457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, the price shown is based upon the
price of $59.89 per share, which is the average of the high and low
selling prices for the registrant’s common stock as reported on the New
York Stock Exchange on June 16,
2008.
|

Calculated
under Section 6(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 as 0.00003930 of
$119,851,508.66.

Of
the total of 2,001,194 shares registered under this registration
statement, a total of 205,191 shares were previously registered under a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-106438) of St. Mary Land
& Exploration Company filed on June 25, 2003 (the “Prior S-8
Registration Statement”), and the balance of the shares are newly
registered shares. Such 205,191 shares (the “Previously
Registered Shares”) have not been offered or sold pursuant to the Prior
S-8 Registration Statement. Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the
Securities Act of 1933, the registration fee of $4,710.16 for this

previously paid by St. Mary Land & Exploration Company for the Prior
S-8 Registration Statement with respect to the Previously Registered
Shares.
