RANALES. 133 



recorded by Hollick from the Cretaceous at Glen Cove, Long 

 Island. 



The material from Milltown is fragmentary, as is the type from 

 Greenland and the single specimen from Long Island, so that it 

 is difficult to determine all of its specific characters. In general 

 the leaf is broadly ovate or subelliptical in outline, with a rounded 

 or bluntly pointed apex and a widely truncated base, rounded 

 laterally. Length, 9 cm. to 12 cm. Greatest width, which is at 

 or near the base, 6 cm. to 10 cm. Midrib comparatively slender. 

 Secondaries, 9 or 10 alternate pairs, very thin, branching from 

 the midrib at an acute angle, camptodrome. 



This species remotely resembles Magnolia Capellinii as has 

 been pointed out by Heer. It also suggests in its general outline 

 and venation characters Magnolia Lacoeana of Lesquereux, dif- 

 fering merely in the character of its base.
