base on the larger side, otherwise they are quite similar. 

 They may be either small leaves of Sapindus Morrisoni or 

 else new forms altogether. It may well be that the leaves re- 

 ferred to the widely distributed Sapindus Moi'risoni, as indi- 

 cated above, embrace more than one species. 



This is another species which we could expect to find in 

 the Raritan formation.

As remarked under Sapindus Morrisoni, this might well be 



a small leaf of that species. Recorded by Hollick from the 



Matawan ; not found by me. 



Celastrophyllum Gopp. Tertiarfl. Java, 52. 1854. 

 This extinct genus includes leaves related to those of 

 Colastrus. It has ten species in the Potomac, ten in the 

 Raritan, one in the Island series, seven in the Dakota, two 

 in the Matawan, one in the Atane beds and three in the 

 Patoot beds. 



Celastrophyllum elegans sp. nov. PI. 43. f. 6. 



A handsome ovate-lanceolate leaf about 6 cm. long and 10 

 mm. wide at its widest part which is about midway between 

 the base and the apex ; with a somewhat wedge-shaped base, 

 an evenly rounded apex and a slightly undulating margin ; 

 there are eleven shallow indentations on each side, the lowest 

 about 6 mm. from the base ; petiole rather stout, 10 mm. in 

 length ; secondaries branch at an angle of somewhat more 

 than 45° and are straight to within a short distance of the 

 margin, curving and forming arches only about one milli- 

 meter from it. 



Hollick refers a leaf from this formation to Celastrophyllum 

 Newberryanum ; ours is a narrower longer leaf with more 

 regular secondaries. Compared with the Amboy Clay leaves 

 of C. Newberryanum ours is a longer more slender leaf. 

 C. Newberryanum was however an abundant and very vari- 

 able leaf and some of Newberry's figures approach ours quite
