SAPINDALES. 175 



It is probably present in the Atane beds of Greenland in some 

 of the leaves which Heer includes under his Celmtrophyllum cre- 

 natiim, and it has been reported bV Hollick from the Magothy 

 formation at Cliffwood bluff, where it is apparently rare. It 

 would seem as if such an abundant element in the late Raritan 

 would be present in allied floras to the southward, although" as 

 yet its presence has not been detected. A new species which 

 occurs in the Magothy formation at Grove Point, Maryland, ap- 

 proaches Celastrophyllwm Newberryammt and is probably a direct 

 descendant from it. 



Forms from the Bohemian Cretaceous, which are practically 

 identical with the smaller and more pointed leaves of this species, 

 are referred by Velenovsky^ to the genus Phillyrea of the 

 Oleace^ and compared with the li\'ing Phillyrea latifolia Linne 

 of southern Europe. 



Occurrence. — Sayreville, South Amboy. 



Collections. — U. S. National Museum, N. Y. Botanical Garden.
