Description. — This polymorphous species has 

 been recorded from a very large number of 

 localities and horizons, as the partial synonj-m}' 

 given above clearly emphasizes. The type ma- 

 terial came from both the earliest and latest 

 Swiss Miocene, but subsequently this species 

 has been identified from all stages of the Ter- 

 tiary of Europe. In America it has ])een 

 recorded from beds of late Upper Cretaceous 

 age and at difl'erent Tertiary horizons. Tt 

 seems mcrcdible that all thes(! records should 

 represent a single species and probably several 

 species are included, ])ut their segregation on 

 other than stratigraphic grounds is impossible 

 at th(> present t\mo. The Wilcox leaves are 

 much smaller and are otherwi.sc readily distin- 

 guished from Diofipiirvs wilcoxiana Berry. 

 They occur also in the Claiborne deposits of 

 tlie western Gulf region.
