Family AQUIFOLIACEAE. 



ILEX KNIGHTIAEFOLIA Lesquereux. 



Plate 26, fig. 3. 



Ilex knightiaefolia Lesquereux,. Kept. U. S. Geol. Surv. Terr., vol. 8 (Cret. and 



Tert. Fl.), 1883, p. 188, pi. 40, figs. 4, 5. 

 Ilexrigida KiRCHNEE,Trans. St. Louis Acad. Sci., vol. 8, 1898, p. 182, pi. 14, fig. 2. 



Tyye ofl. rigida.—C&t. No. 33,683, U.S.N.M. 



An examination of the type of Tlex rigida Kii-clmer convinces me 

 that it is referable to /. li-niglitiaefolia Lesquereux, as suspected by 

 Cockerell.^ There is an additional example in the Hambach collec- 

 tion [Cat. No. 33,705, U.S.N.M.]. 



ILEX PSEUDO-STENOPHYLLA Lesqoerenx. 



Plate 25, figs. 3, 4. 



Ilex pseudo-stenophylla Lesquereux, Rept. U. S. Geol. Surv. Terr., vol. 8 (Cret. 

 and Tert. Fl.), 1883, p. 185. 



Types— Cat. Nos. 50,326, 50,327; U.S.N.M. 



As this species has never been figured, and as the t^^pe-specimens 

 have become the property of the United States National Museum 

 through the Lacoe collection, I take this opportunity of figuring the 

 type-specimen which is number 59 of Lacoe s cabinet, and which 

 served as the basis for the species. They are very well described 

 by Lesquereux, and obviously belong to the type of the living Ilex 

 cassine Linnaues. The length is 20 to 26 mm., and the width about 

 6 mm. 



ILEX MICROPHYLLA Lesqnerenz. 



Plate 21, fig. 6. 



Ilex microphylla Lesquereux, Rept. U. S. Geol. Surv. Terr., vol. 8 (Cret. and 

 Tert. Fl.), 1883, p. 186. 



This species, like the last, has never been figured, and as the type 

 is now in the United States National Museum, having come through 

 the Lacoe collection, the opportunity is taken to figure it. It has 

 been well described by Lesquereux. 



Type.— Cat. No. 50,329, U.S.N.M. (Original Lacoe No. 60.) 



Family CELASTRACEAE. 



CELASTRUS FRAXINIFOLIUS Lesquereux. 



Celastrus fravinifolius Lesquereux, Rept. U. S. Geol. Surv. Terr., vol. 8 (Cret. 

 and Tert. Fl.), 1883, p. 184, pi. 40, fig. 10. 



A specimen in the Scudder collection which seems to belong here, 

 though it is a very little broader and has rather finer teeth.
