recorded by Hollick from the Cretaceous at Glen Cove, Long
Island.
The material from Milltown is fragmentary, as is the type from.
Greenland and the single specimen from Loug Island, so that it
is difficult to determine all of its specific characters. In general
the leaf is broadly ovate or subelliptical in outline, with a rounded
or bluntly pointed apex and a widely truncated base, rounded
laterally, Length, 9 cm, to t2 cm, Greatest width, which is at
or near the base, 6 cm. to io era, Midrib comparatively slender.
Secondaries, 9 or io alternate pairs, very thin, branching from
the midrib at an acute angle, camptodrome.
This species remotely resembles Magnolia' Capellinii as has
been pointed out by Heer. It also suggests in its general outline
and venation characters Magnolia Lacoeane of Lesquereux, dif.-
feting merely in the character of its base.
