from the Dakota group, and the writer has collected a variety of 
pointed leaves from the modern tree, a number of which have 
already been figured.* 
LIRIODENDRON sp. (cf. L. pRIMAEVUM Newb.). 
Collections made at Blackmans Bluff on the Neuse river con- 
tained a small-leaved Liriodendron which appears in my notes 
under the above heading. The specimen was destroyed in transit 
so there is no means of telling except in the light of future collec- 
tions whether this was simply a leaf of the preceding species or 
whether Newberry’s species is represented. Both species of 
Liriodendropsis occur in the Tuscaloosa clays of Alabama, and it 
would not be at all surprising to find Liriodendron primaevum 
also present.

As Newberry well says, Heer’s type of this species is in many 
ways more like the Raritan C. Newderryanum than it is like the 
leaves which he hesitatingly refers to Heer’s species, still the latter 
vary greatly in size and outline and some are so close to the type 
that he did not feel justified in considering them distinct. The 
North Carolina specimen is a practically complete leaf 7 cm. long 
by 4 cm. wide, about the size of the largest of those figured by 
Newberry, somewhat obovate in general outline with an inequi- 
lateral base. It is comparatively somewhat narrower than the 
New Jersey leaves and the secondaries are more remote than in 
the majority figured. The venation is otherwise identical. The 
margin is very similar, the coarse crenations, if anything, being 
more aquiline and like those of C. undulatum Newb. as shown 
on pl. 26, f. 2 of the Amboy Clay flora. The summit is rounded. 
The marginal teeth are somewhat variable and disappear entirely 
toward the base of the leaf. The petiole is not preserved. 
This is a remarkably fine species and typical of the leaves re- 
ferred to this genus as it is so largely developed during mid-Cre- 
taceous times. Both this species and C. undulatum Newb. are
