PRIMULALES. 209 



different from that shown in Prof. Newberry's figtires, where 

 only the secondaries are seen. These latter may be compared 

 with the similarly preserved leaves from Greenland figured by 

 Heer (pi. ^4, f. 8; pi. 44, f. 5a). 



This species was described, originally, from the Atane beds 

 of Greenland, and was subsequently collected in considerable 

 abundance from the Raritan formation. It has also been recorded 

 from Marthas Vineyard and Long Island ; from the Tuscaloosa 

 formation of Alabama, and from the Bladen formation of North 

 Carolina. It is another form which establishes the relation of 

 the Raritan flora to the Cenomanian. 



Occurrence. — South Amboy, Milltown. 



Collections. — N. Y. Botanical Garden. 



Myrsine oblongata Hollick. 

 Plate XXIV, Fig. i. 



Myrsine oblongata Hollick in Newb., Fl. Amboy Clays, 122, pi. 

 42, f. 15, 1896. 



Description. — Leaves of small size, elliptical in outline, 2.6 cm. 

 in length by 1.3 cm. in breadth. Apex broadly rounded; base 

 almost equally so. Margins entire. Venation fine and indistinct. 

 Secondaries 5 or 6 pairs, camptodrome. 



This species was based upon a single specimen regarding 

 which Professor Newberry failed to record the exact locality, 

 and no additional specimens have since come to light. It is very 

 doubtfully related to Myrsine, which usually has a much closer 

 venation, and suggests a number of leaflets which have been 

 referred to genus Leguniinosites. As no positive light can be 

 shed on its real affinities, it is left in the genus where it was placed 

 by its describer. 



Occurrence. — South Amboy (?). 



Collections. — N. Y. Botanical Garden.
