 This species is thus far only represented by a small frag- 

 ment from Cliffwood, although common in the Raritan Clays 

 at Sayreville and Woodbridge, and also reported from Kreis- 

 cherville, Staten Island, by Hollick. 



PROTEACEAE. 

 Proteoides Heer, Phyll. Cret. Nebr. 17. 1866. 

 This extinct genus, which is supposed to be allied to the 

 existing genus Protca, has some eight fossil American species 

 as follows: Raritan 2, Dakota 4, Mill Creek i, Vancouver 

 3. Many fossil species of Proteaceae have been described 

 from the European Tertiary but considerable doubt has been 

 expressed as to the real affinity of many of them, their re- 

 semblance to various species of Coniferae, Meliaceae, Sapin- 

 daceae and Myricaceae being pointed out.

 Remains of this species are common in the clays near Cliff- 

 wood, but very fragmentary. Previously recorded from the 

 Dakota group at Decatur, Nebraska ; Raritan at Wood- 

 bridge, Sayreville, etc., N. J. ; the Mill Creek series at Mill 

 Creek and the Cretaceous on Staten Island and Long Island.
