 Andromeda Cookii Berry, Bull. Torrey Club, vol. 36: 261, 1909. 



Description. — Leaves coriaceous, , variable in size, lanceolate 

 in outline, 6 cm. to 12 cm. in length by 1.5 cm. to 3 cm. in width, 

 with an acuminate apex and a somewhat cuneate base. Midrib 

 stout and flexuous. Secondaries strong, somewhat flexuous, 

 branching from, the midrib at an acute angle and arching upward 

 in long curves, camptodrome. Tertiaries mostly simple, trans- 

 verse, forming oblong areoles. 



This species is of the same general character as the other Rar- 

 itan species of Andromeda wath which it is strictly congeneric. 

 It is a common form in the lower Raritan, although most of the 

 specimens are imperfect. Elsewhere it is recorded from Glen 

 Cove, Long Island, but the material from the latter locality is not 

 very conclusive. The name given to- this species by Newberry 

 was unfortunately preoccupied, and the name here used is given 

 in honor of the late George H. Cook, w^hose work on the Raritan 

 and allied formations has furnished the basis for all subsequent 

 studies. 



Occurrence. — Sayreville, Woodbridge, Milltown.
