about 70 degrees, every third or fourth one straighter than the 
rest and running to a marginal tooth, the intervening ones some- 
what more curved and camptodrome. 
This is an exceedingly well marked species, quite distinct from 
previously described forms and resembles closely some of the 
leaves of our existing Comptonia peregrina (Linné) Coulter. It 
1s also much like some of the European Tertiary forms about 
which so much controversy raged in times past as to whether they 
were myricaceous or proteaceous.* For example some of the 
forms of Comptonia vindobonensis (Ettingshausen) Berry are close 
to the present species. A somewhat similar form is describe 
by Velenovsky from the Bohemian Cretaceous as Dryandra 
cretacea,t and another by Unger from the Cretaceous of Tran- 
sylvania as Comptonites antiquus.~ These are both generically 
distinct from the present species as shown by their characteristic 
habit.
