known on the American continent. The genus Loncho- 
carpus has not been recorded north of Mexico. The pods 
apparently represent species which became extinct in re-

LiRIODENDRON LEAVES, Fossil and Living. 
The living tulip tree (Liriodendron Tulipifera) is the 
sole representative in our modern flora of this genus, 
which in the past included a large number of species. 
By means of abnormal leaf forms and leaves from young 
shoots or seedlings, an attempt is here made to compare 
the evolution of the individual with the evolution of the 
genus in the past, as evidenced by the variation in leaf 
forms during successive geologic periods.
