Saltx protcaefolia Jlcxiiosa Lesq. Fl. Dak. Group, 50. />/. 

 44,/. 4, J. 1892. 



Dakota Group : Kansas. Cretaceous : Seacliff, Long Is- 

 land (Hollick, '94) and Block Island (Hollick, '98). 



The smaller leaf is similar to the smaller forms referred to 

 the above species. It resembles a number of small lanceolate 

 leaves of varied affinities such as Lesquereux's Aiidrotneda 

 affints, the smaller forms of Myrica longa Heer from the Da- 

 kota (but has a narrower base), and Laurtis angtista Heer 

 as figured in Fl. Foss. Arct. 7: fl. 57./. ib; the latter is, 

 however, considerably smaller than Heer's figures of this same 

 species in the same work, v. 6', and also much smaller than 

 the leaf which Lesquereux refers to this species in the Flora 

 of the Dakota Group. 



Were our specimen [fl. 48./. 12) somewhat more linear it 

 might be compared to Eucalyptus Dakotensis, but there is 

 no doubt that it is a Salix. The larger leaves [pi. 52. /. 2) 

 show the characteristic venation of this species. 



Salix Mattewancnsis sp. nov. Pi. 51. f. 5. 



A small ovate-lanceolate leaf with an obtuse base and 

 slender tapering tip, greatly resembling several modern 

 willow leaves ; secondaries regular, camptodrome. 



Except for its small size it is very similar to Salix mem- 

 hranacea Newb. There is considerable resemblance to 

 Salix sp. (Fl. Amboy Clays, pi. 42. f. 6-8) only the tip is 

 more elongated. There is also some resemblance to such 

 leaves as Leguminosites constrictus Lesq. and to several of 

 the forms referred to Cassia.
