Ficus WILLISIANA n. sp. (Pl. 176, f. 2, 5). 
Leaf large, apparently about 7 in. long by 4 in. wide at broadest 
part, tapering to the acute apex; margin entire; midrib and sec- 
ondaries rather slender for the size of the leaf, the latter conspicu- 
ously curved upward and comptodrome. 
A full description of this leaf is impossible from the material 
now in our possession, but it is evidently such a distinctive species 
that the portions figured will serve to identify it in case more per- 
fect specimens should be found in the future. 
Named for Mr. Bailey Willis, of the U. S. Geological Sur- 
vey, and one of the earliest collectors of cretaceous specimens 
in the vicinity of Glen Cove. 
Locality: f. 2, Glen Cove; f. 5, Sea Cliff. 
PROTHOIDES DAPHNOGENOIDES Heer. (PI. 177. f. 1.) 
Protecides daphnogenoides Heer, Phyl. Cret. Neb. 17, pl. 4 
SI. 9, ro. 
This is one of the commonest species in the Amboy clays; it 
has been previously reported by me from Staten Island,* and by 
Lesquereux from the cretaceous of the West.t+ : 
Locality : Sea Cliff. 
Laurus Oma. Sap. et Mar. (PI. 176, f. 3, 6.) : 
Laurus Omalii Sap. et Mar. Essai Veg. Marnes Heers. Gelind- 
49, pl. 6, f. 1. a 
The reference of this species to the genus Laurus appears tO 3 
me questionable, but as our specimens are apparently identical - 
with the above it is proper that they should be identified with that — 
name. It has not as yet been reported from elsewhere in America. _ 
Locality: f. 3, Sea Cliff; f. 6, Glen Cove. 
Laurus NEWBERRYANA N. sp. (Fl. 1797. 4:5.) 
Leaf lanceolate, 4 in. long, 12 in. wide in middle, entire; 
lower secondaries leaving the midrib at an acute angle, upper ones 
at a more obtuse angle. .
