70 THE RARITAN FLORA. 



50° circiter arrectis, late frondosis, lineari-lanceolatis, lobato- 

 dentatis vel basi pinnatifidis vel pinnati-partitis, laciniis ovato- 

 obtusis apice denticulatis, vel ovato-acuminatis, sub-alternis, 

 confertis, terminalibus longe lineari-lanceolatis, angustissimis, 

 remote dentatis; nervis venisque strictis, arrectis, simplicibus vel 

 saepius furcatis, creberrimis." Debey and Ettings, 1859. 



A considerable nuraber of specimens, which Professor New- 

 berry identified as this species, were found in the Raritan. They 

 are more complete than the material so identified from elsewhere 

 and show several minor differences. The lower pinn^ of the 

 former are widely separated, opposite or sub-opposite, and 

 markedly decurrent as well as unsymmetrical. Higher up, how- 

 ever, the pinnse become closer until they finally unite, passing 

 from notched to simple lobes, and these latter are very similar 

 to the type of the species. The texture is coriaceous and the 

 venation fine and largely obsolete. 



The species is recorded from the Cenomanian of Greenland 

 and Bohemia and the Senonian of Prussia and Bulgaria. The 

 remains referred to this species by Lesquereux from the much 

 older horizon at Cape Lisbourne, Alaska, are found to be iden- 

 tical with Cladophlebis Huttoni (Dunk.) Font. 



Occurrence. — Woodbridge, South Amboy.

Asplenium raritanensc Berry, Bull. Torrey Club, vol. 36 : 246,

Description. — Frond or pinnae unknown. Pinnules small 1.33 

 cm. long by 10 mm. in greatest breadth, ovate in outline with 

 narrow somewhat straight-sided base, palmately divided into i 

 terminal and 2 pairs of lateral, rounded, not deeply parted, lobes. 

 Margin entire at base and in sinuses, sharply toothed on the

 pinnule, these soon fork dichotomously, the ultimate divisions 

 terminating in the marginal teeth.
