Cissites crispus Velenovsky, Fl. Boéhm. Kreidef. 4: 12. pl. 4, f. 6 
1885. Not Newberry, 1896, Berry, 1906, 1911. 
The present species was identified from the Raritan of New 
Jersey by Newberry and from the Magothy by Berry but neither 
occurrence represents the European form so that recently I made 
them the basis of a new species, Cissites Newberryt.* 
A perfectly distinct small-leafed form which appears to be 
identical with the Bohemian type is present in the Ripley of 
Tennessee. It differs from Cissites Newberryi in its relatively 
shorter and broader form, its crenate instead of serrate or dentate 
teeth, its less ascending secondaries and its cordate base. 
The type and only other known occurrence of Cissites crispus 
is the Chlomeker beds (Emscherian) of Bohemia. 
OccuRRENCE: RIPLEY FORMATION, McNartry sAND
