Berry : Mesozoic flora of the coastal plain 257 



allowed to stand until more abundant and complete material is at 

 hand for comparison. Another comparison which is suggested is 

 with Hytncnaea dakotana Lesq. 



The Milltown leaf, of which two specimens have been found, 

 IS more suggestive of Phaseolites elegans in general appearance 

 than it is of the species with which it is identified- This is due to 

 its more slender apical portion. On the other hand, it shows the 

 very full convex base on one side, and the more acutely branching 

 secondaries which are considered specific characters of Phaseolites 

 fftanhassettensis. 



Occurrence : Milltown. 



Collections : U. S. National Museum. 



Leguminosites raritanensis sp. nov. 



Leaflets large, 7.5 cm. by 5.1 cm., almost a perfect ellipse in 

 outline, slightly emarginate at the apex. Midrib thin and straight 

 Secondaries numerous, nearly straight, ascending at an angle of 

 about 45^, camptodrome, of delicate calibre and scarcely dis- 

 cernible, [Plate 18, figure 4.] 



This species is based upon a single individual and seems 

 properly referable to this genus. In outline it suggests some of 

 the forms which have been referred to Popiilus but its venation is 

 quite different. It resembles also some of the specimens referred 

 to Liriodendropsis^ which is simply another way of emphasizing 

 the fact that it is a leguminous leaflet of unknown generic 

 affinities. 



Occurrence : South Amboy. 

 Collections: U. S. National Museum. 



Caesalpinia raritanensis sp, nov. 



Elliptical leaflets about 3 cm. long and 2.2 cm. broad, with 

 markedly emarginate apex. Midrib missing. Secondaries branch- 

 ing at a w^ide angle, almost 90°, and but slightly curved, anasto- 

 mosing by broad evenly rounded loops about two thirds of the 

 distance to the margin. 



This is possibly only an extraordinarily large leaflet of Caesal^ 

 pinia Caokiafia Hollick, somewhat more elongated in outline and 

 strictly congeneric Avith that species. It is, unfortunately, based 

 upon a single imperfect specimen. 



OccuRRENXE : South Amboy.
