_Descriptiom--Leaflets, elliptical in outline, 3.2 era. to 4 cm.
in length, by L5 cm. to 1.7 era. in greatest breadth, which is
abo_t half way between the apex and the base. Texture sub_
eoriaceous. Apex rather broadly rounded. Base slightly narrowed
and decurrent to the point o'{ attachment. Lesquereux
•speaks of a short petiole, but this is lackitag in his type figm-e
and in all the specimens examined by the writer. The midrib
is not especially wide, but is quite prominent. The secondaries
are thin and alternate; they l_umber about six pairs, and branch
fron_ the midrib at angles of 50° or somewhat less, curving up-
,yard close to the nmrgins, camptodrome.
This species was described originally from the Dakota Group
of Kansas. The Raritan leaf is very close to the type, differing
merely in that the outline is more nearly elliptical than it is in
"the western form. Pro{. Newberry failed to reec_rd the locality
from. which his specimens were obtained and no subsequent material
has come to light from the New Jersey clays.
