five curved camptodrome laterals. Tertiaries thin percurrent 
with occasional laterals from midrib parallel with secondaries. 
The present species is not at all trilobate as are some of the 
Dakota sandstone species, from which it also differs in having 
camptodrome instead of craspedodrome lateral primaries. Among 
described forms it is like some of the New Jersey Raritan leaves 
that Newberry referred to Menispermites borealis Heer, without 
greatly resembling the type material of the latter species. The most 
similar figured form is Newberry’s pl. 50. fig. 2, Fl. Amboy Clays, 
which differs from the present species in its inequilateral form. 
Superficially Menispermites integrifolia suggests the associated 
Cordia apiculata (Hollick) Berry, differing especially in its peltate 
base. It may be also compared with various Upper Cretaceous» 
leaves commonly referred to Populus, some of which have been 
referred by various students to Cocculus. The latter genus seems — 
to be the closest to the fossil but in view of the uncertainty of such 
a reference Menispermites will serve equally well as a generic 
designation for leaves of the family Menispermaceae. ' 
The present species is represented by incomplete specimens in 
the upper member of the Bingen sand which it is inadvisable to 
figure. The foregoing description is based on the complete type 
material from the Tuscaloosa formation of Alabama which will 
be figured in a report on the Cretaceous Floras of the Eastern 
Gulf region now going through the press of the United States 
Geological Survey. 
OccURRENCE: Big Railroad Cut, one mile southwest of Max-
