Since this name has been used several times for members of 
the living flora, I have changed it as above. 
This fragment of a trilobed leaf from Court House Bluff seems 
allied to this species of Aralia, especially to those forms from New 
Jersey referred to it by the writer. There are a variety of similar 
leaves which have been described from New Jersey and elsewhere 
in the genera Avalia, Sassafras, etc., without any definite under- 
standing of their true affinity. Thus this leaf is somewhat similar 
to Arata grénlandica Heer, to Sassafras hastatum Newb., and to 
some of the forms which have been referred to Sassafras acutilobum 
Lesq. Without the basal part of the leaf it is impossible to iden- 
tify it except provisionally.

Leaves of this type appear to be rather common at ead 
House Bluff and they agree very well with this species. While 
none were found in a perfect condition, figures 1, 3 and 4 give us 
nearly the whole leaf except the tip. Shape reniform or cordate 
with a deep basal sinus and 4-6 primaries palmately branching 
from the top of the petiole, which was stout. Venation entirely 
characteristic of the specie¢ as illustrated by Newberry. This 
species is reported by Heer from the Atane beds of Greenland but 
his specimens are fragmentary and not entirely convincing. More 
typical specimens are illustrated by Velenovsky from the Cenoman- 
ian of Bohemia. The Carolina leaves are somewhat larger than 
the other leaves of this species but are otherwise manifestly iden- 
tical. The genus Hedera is well characterized in the mid-Creta- 
ceous by numerous species of Raritan and Dakota age.
