by Lesquereux, op. cit., except in the base. The base and apex of 

 Lesquereux's leaf were lacking. He assumes, as is shown by the 

 figure, that the base is cuneate. The upper part of our leaf is lack- 

 ing. The lower part, probably about half of it, is almost perfect, 

 except very near the petiole. The base is narrowed, but has the same 

 width for some distance, and has the appearance of being somewhat 

 auricled or heart-shaped at the petiole. Lesquereux may have been 

 mistaken in assuming that the base of his leaf was sharp pointed; if 

 not, our leaf does not belong to the same species. Our specimen does 

 not resemble any other species of Ficus with which I have compared 

 it, and does resemble that of Ficus macrophylla Lesq. so closely in 

 venation that I have decided to refer it to that species regardless of 

 the difference in the base. 



Occurrence : Ellsworth County, Kansas, Dakota Sandstone (Cre- 

 taceous). Baron de Bayet Collection, Accession No. 2348, Carnegie 

 Museum, Pittsburgh, Pa. {No. 10).

Description : There are three specimens which I have referred to 

 this species. Berry, " The Flora of the Raritan Formation," p. 122, 

 gives Heer's original description of Proteoides daphnogenoides. In 

 his own description, page 123, he gives the following: '"This species 

 has been found to be quite variable in size, ranging in length from
