Myrica Newberryana HoUick. 

 Plate X, Fig. 2. 



Myrica Nezvhcrryana Hollick in Newb., Fl. Amboy Clays, 63, pi. 

 42, f. 5, 1896. 



Description. — Leaves small, lanceolate in outline, about 2.5 cm. 

 long by 0.8 cm. in greatest width. Apex obtusely pointed. Base 

 apparently acute. Margin entire for one-third of the distance 

 above the base, the remainder with somewhat irregular, rounded, 

 dentate teeth. Venation fine but distinct. Secondaries numerous, 

 7 or 8 pairs, sub-opposite, camptodrome. 



This species is based on a few fragmentary specimens from the 

 upper Raritan, of which the leaf figured is the most complete. 

 It is apparently quite distinct from the other members of the 

 Raritan flora. 



Occurrence. — South Amboy, Milltown. 



Collections. — N. Y. Botanical Garden. 



Myrica fenestrata Newb. 

 Plate X, Fig. 3. 



Myrica fenestrata Newb., Fl. Amboy Clays, 63, pi. 42, f. ^2, 1896. 



Description. — Leaf lanceolate in outline, equally pointed at 

 both ends. 5 cm. to 6 cm. in length by 1.4 cm. in greatest width. 

 Margin slightly undulate. Midrib strong. Secondaries stout, 

 numerous, regularly alternate, branching from the midrib at a 

 wide angle, nearly 90°, and running straight almost to the 

 margin where their ends are joined by flat arches, somewhat 

 suggestive of a Ficus or a Eucalyptus. 



This species was based on a single incomplete specimen, and 

 only two additional fragments have been found in the later collec- 

 tions. While its inclusion in the genus Myrica is not above ques- 

 tion, it seems closer to this type than to any other which has sug-
