different from that shown in Prof. Newberry's figures, where
only the secondaries are seen. These latter may be compared
with the similarly preserved leaves from Greenland figured by
Heer (pl. _4, f. g; pl. 44, (. 5a) •
This species was described, originally, from. the Atane beds
of Greenland, and was subsequently collected in considerable
abundance fr_'n the Raritan formation. It has also been recorded
from Marthas Vineyard and L6ng Island; from the Tuscaloosa
formation of Alabama, an d from the Bladen fon_xati0n of North-
Carolina. It is" another fofi_ whidh establishes the'relation of
the Raritan flora to the C_/nomanian.
Occurrence.--South Amboy, Milltown.

Descriptlon.--Leaves of small size, elliptical in'outline, 2.6 cm.
•_n length by L 3 era. in breadth. Apex broadly rounded; base
almost equally so. Margins entire. Venation fine and indistindt.
Secondaries 5 or 6 pairs, camgtodrome.
This species was based upon a single specimen regarding
which Professor Newberry failed to record the exact locality,
and no additional specimens have since come to light. It is very
doubtfully related to Myrsin G which usually has a much closer
venation, and suggests a number of leaflets which have been
referred to genus Leguminosites. As no positive light can be
shed on its real affinities, it is left in the genus where it was placed
by its describer.
Occurrence.--South Amboy (?).
Collections.--N. Y. Botanical Garden.
