CELASTROPHYLLUM DECURRENS Lesq. (?) (Pl. 179, f. 1.) 
Celastrophyllum decurrens Lesq. Fl. Dak. Gr. 172, pl. 36, f. I. 
I am inclined to think that this is an imperfectly preserved 
specimen of the above species in which the fine serrations and 
narrow decurrent petiole are not apparent; or it may represent the 
species described by me from Staten Island under the name 
Myrica grandifolia. (Trans. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 12: 32, pl. 3,f. I. 
(1892).) A specimen with more perfectly preserved margin could 
alone determine these points. 
Locality: Glen Cove. 
GREWIOPSIS VIBURNIFOLIA Ward. (Pl. 174, f. 8.) 
Grewiopsis viburnifolia Ward, Bull. 37,U. S. G. S. 89, pl. 40. f: 2. 
This appears to be without doubt a small specimen of the 
above species, described by Ward from the Laramie of Montana. 
It also has the appearance, were it not for the small size, of certain 
species of Platanus, (P. Newberryana Heer, Fl. Foss. Arct. 7: pl. 
59; f. 6), from the Patoot beds of Greenland. It might also be 
compared with Viburnum, as indicated by Ward in his discussion 
ofthe type. It is the only specimen of its kind which I have yet — 
Seen from the eastern United States. 
Locality: Lloyd’s Neck. 
MENISPERMITES BrysONIANA n. sp. (PI. 180, f. 10.) 
Leaf inequilateral, entire, broadly cordate at base, widest at 
about One-third the distance from base to tip, thence rapidly nar- 
Towing; dimensions about 34 in. long by 1? in. wide at broadest 
part, one side only slightly curved, the other conspicuously ae 
nervation consisting of a midrib, which is nearest to the side 
with least curve, a strong lateral nerve, which originates at a dis- 
tance of about 3, in. from the base and curves towards the outer 
side, and several secondaries, which also spring at irregular in- 
tervals from the midrib. : oe 
It has much the general appearance in outline of the fragment 
of M. borealis Heer, described and figured in FI. Foss. Aret. te ha 
91, pl. 39,f. 2, from the lower Atane beds of Greenland, and wi es 
Similar leaves from the Amboy clays of New Jersey. Our speci 
men, however, is smaller than any of these, and apparantly has 
but a single strong lateral nerve, whereas all the others mentioned 
_ have two or mo oe See ee
