Berry: MESOZOIC FLORA OF THE COASTAL PLAIN a7 
CINNAMOMUM INTERMEDIUM Newb, FI. Amboy Clays 
89. pl. 29. f. 1-8, ro. 1896 
Previously recorded from the Magothy formation in New 
Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland, this species occurs at Round 
Bay and at Little Round Bay on the Severn River.

The Grove Point leaf upon which this record is based is a trifle 
narrower than the type, otherwise the two are identical. Corno- 
phytlum vetustum Newb., from the New Jersey Raritan, is possibly 
the same species. The features in which the Maryland leaf differs 
from that of Newberry are its more lanceolate form; the sym- 
metrical base ; the fewer secondaries, which form a much more 
acute angle with the midrib and are more regular in their course ; 
the presence of the transverse tertiaries, which are invisible in the 
Raritan leaf; the more regular margin, the longer petiole, stouter 
midrib, and coarser secondary system. All of these characters are 
features in which the Raritan leaf departs from the typical leaves 
of Cornus. The present species is closely allied to Cornus praecox 
Lesq., of the Dakota Group. 
ARALIA Ravniana Heer, FI. Foss. Arct. 6’: 84. pl. 38. 
Jc ty See 
This remarkable species of Aralia, described originally from 
the Atane beds of Greenland by Heer, was recorded by the writer 
from the Magothy formation at Cliffwood Bluff, N. J., where it is 
represented by a number of imperfect but characteristic leaves. 
It has also been recorded by Hollick from Gay Head, Marthas 
Vineyard, and from Tottenville, Staten Island, but these latter 
occurrences are based upon material of a very doubtful character. 
The present record is based upon unequivocal material from 
Grove Point. The species is closely allied to Avalia Towneri Lesq. 
of the Dakota group.
