and soniewhat remotely dentate, with shallow, rounded sinuses 

 between the teeth, the cuneate base entire margined. 



This species, which is excessively abundant in the upper Raritan 

 beds at South Amboy, but which has riot been found else- 

 where in the New Jersey Raritan, was described originally from 

 the Patoot beds of Greenland, which are usually correlated with 

 the Senonian o>f Europe. The Greenland material was limited 

 and the specimens were small in size compared with the usual 

 Raritan forms. There is no Cjuestion of their identity, however. 

 Professor Heer compared them with Cclastnts Bttingsliauscni, of 

 the European Tertiary, which resembles a number of modern 

 species of Ceiastrus of the East Indian region. The present 

 fossils exhibit considerable resemblance to the leaflets of the 

 palmately compound Dewalcjueas of the European Upper Cre- 

 taceous and Lower Eocene, but no' evidence of a similar habit 

 is indicated among the large number of specimens collected from 

 South Amboy. 



This species is recorded by Hollick from Block Island and 

 Long* Island, and is also present in the Kreischerville beds of 

 Staten Island.
