(So) 



leaving the midrib at an angle somewhat less than 45° and 

 curving upward with a long sweep, becoming nearly parallel 

 with the margin, along which they form small shallow arches, 

 the connecting branches to the secondary next above being 

 small and transverse. 



Species dedicated to Dr. Arthur Hollick, who suggested its 

 Lauraceous affinity. 



This species is quite similar to Daphnophylluni Dakotense 

 Lesq. from the Dakota group, which Lesquereux compares 

 with Daphne -protogaea Ett.* Our leaf is somewhat nar- 

 rower and the distal portions of the secondaries are straighter. 

 There is also considerable resemblance in outline to various 

 species of Salix and some of the lanceolate species of Ficus. 



Laurophyllum Gopp. Tertiarfl. Java, 45. 1854. 

 An entirely extinct genus containing leaves supposed to be 

 allied to Laurus and including five American species in the 

 Raritan, Mill Creek and Upper Cretaceous. 



Laurophyllum angustifolium Newb. PL 47./. 1,3,8, 



//. 4g.f. 1-5. 



Laurophyllum angustifolium Newb. Fl. Amboy Clays, 86. 

 fl. 17' f' 10, II. 1896. 



Remains of leaves, which by their narrow elongated shape, 

 thick midrib, and coriaceous texture are allied to this species 

 of Newberry from the Amboy Clays at Woodbridge are very 

 common at Cliffwood. The remains are very poor, how- 

 ever, consisting of larger or smaller fragments of the basal 

 portions of leaves. The petiole (preserved in f. 5) is short 

 and stout. 



Newberry compares his leaves with some of Heer's Myrica 

 longa, but the latter lack the straight narrowly ascending 

 basal margins and are rather abruptly rounded. If Arctic 

 analogues are necessary we may point out the resemblance 

 to the Tertiary Laurtis Rcussii Ett. or to forms of Laurus 

 angusta Heer from Atane (Fl. Foss. Arct. 6^: fl. 43,/. ic).
