256 Berry: Mesozoic flora of the coastal plain 



stout, stouter than in LatiropJiylhtm nervillosiini Hollick. Secon- 

 daries numerous, usually less close and somewhat coarser than in 

 the latter species, branching from the midrib at an acute angle 

 below, which becomes more open above the base of the leaf; they 

 are usually more curved than In L. nervillosuni and more distinctly 

 camptodrome. Tertiaries transverse throughout. 



These leaves were recorded originally by Hollick as Lanrus 

 pliitonia Heer and were later compared with Latinis angusta Heer, 

 which latter species they resemble more than they do the former. 

 In outline they are not unlike Laiirophyllum angustifoliuui Newb., 

 from Woodbridge, N. J,, but differ decidedly in venation. They 

 are also similar but quite distinct from Latirophylhun nervillosum 

 Hollick, and Laurophylhim reticulatuui Lesq. of the Dakota group. 



The specimens outside of those recorded in the present contri- 

 bution from New Jersey and those which are as yet unpublished 

 from the region south of New Jersey, are from transported mate- 

 rials associated with the terminal moraine from which numerous 

 specimens have been collected. Those from Tottenville, Staten 

 Island, are undoubtedly of Raritan age, while those from Glen 

 Cove may have been originally from the Magothy formation, 

 although they are probably Raritan,

Phaseolites manhassettensis Hollick, Bull. N. Y. Botanical 



Garden 3: 414. pL y8. f. /, 2, 1904 



Leaves ovate-falcate, markedly unsymmetrlcal, 6-7.5 cm- in 

 length by 2.4-2.8 cm. in greatest breadth, which is below the 

 middle of the leaf. Margins entire. Apex acute. Base cuneate. 

 Petiole short and stout. Midrib stout and curved. Secondaries 

 fine, about 9 pairs, often obsolete, diverging from the midrib at an 

 acute angle. [Plate 18, figure 3.] 



This species was described from Manhasset Neck, Long Island, 

 a locality which should probably be included within the Raritan 

 formation. The species is scarcely distinguishable hom Phaseolites 

 elegans, described by the same author from Brooklyn, and both 

 are very close to the Dakota group Phaseolites formns Lesq., in 

 fact, it is scarcely conceivable that these extremely limited varia- 

 tions are not all of a single species. However, they should be
