or near the fork and its outer lamina extending more or less 
below the fork. Marginal and venation characters as in the 
other leaflets. 
This handsome species is abundantly represented in the 
Middendorf formation of South Carolina, mostly by terminal 
leaflets. It is common in the Upper Tuscaloosa of Alabama where 
nearly complete leaves have been collected. It is markedly 
distinct from the American species of Dewalquea previously 
described, all of which were apparently tripartite. Among the 
European forms it is quite similar to the Senonian species Dewal- 
quea insignis Hos. & v. d. Marck, which is, however, entirely 
distinct.

Bauhinia ripleyensis sp. nov. 
Leaves of medium size, more or less bilobate, but much less 
deeply divided than in the preceding species, obovate in general 
outline. Length along the midrib 4.5 cm. From apex of lobes 
to base 6.7 cm. Width across upper part of the leaf 5.5 ©™- 
Apical sinus open, extending about one fourth of the distance 
toward the base of the leaf, its margins at the tip of the midri 
forming an angle of about 90°, curving slightly upward and then 
conspicuously outward to the pointed tips of the lobes which 
are directly laterally. Outer margins of the leaf full and rounded, 
medium size. Lateral primaries branching from the base at 
angles with the midrib of about 25 degrees, of medium size, curv ed 
upward and then outward, and running to the tips of the lobes. 
They give off four or five camptodrome secondaries on the out- 
side and two or three on the inside. The midrib, in its upper 
half, also gives off one or two secondaries on each side. Leaf 
substance somewhat coriaceous. [Fic. 1.]
