302 BERRY: MESOZOIC FLORA OF ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN 
especially in the upper half, toward an obtusely rounded apex, the 
termination of the midrib showing as a small mucronate point. 
The base in these forms gradually narrows to the stout petiole. 
This species is found as early as the uppermost Raritan in the 
New Jersey area and is also common in the overlying Magothy. 
It is exceedingly common throughout the Black Creek forma- 
tion of the Carolinas and has also been recorded from the Cusseta 
sand member of the Ripley formation in Georgia. It occurs also 
in the Woodbine of Texas and the Tuscaloosa of Alabama so that 
it is apparently a form with a wide stratigraphic range. 
OCCURRENCE: EUTAW FORMATION, CoFFEE SAND 
MEMBER. Coffee Bluff, Hardin County, Tennessee.

Leaf elliptical in outline, entire. Apex and base equally 
narrowed but the apex bluntly rounded. Length 5.3 cm. Great- 
est width, which is halfway between the apex and the base, 2.3 cm. 
Midrib thin. Secondaries not made out. In the type they are 
thin, diverging at an angle of about forty degrees and campto- 
drome. 
The type material came from the Dakota sandstone of Ells- 
worth County, Kansas. The Georgia material which came from 
the basal beds of the Eutaw formation shows a leaf which is 4 
trifle larger but which in its general proportions and outline is 
identical with the western form, and there can be no doubt of 
their identity. 
It is quite possible, in fact probable, that this species is not 
distinct from Andromeda tenuinervis Lesquereux, which, if the 
form referred to it by Hollick is correctly identified, approaches 
it closely in size. The two differ somewhat in texture and in the 
degree of acuteness of the apex, but whether these features are 
of specific value or not is an open question. The Tennessee 
material extends the range of this species to the upper part of 
the Eutaw formation.
