172 Berry: Mesozoic flora of the coastal plain

While I fully share Newberry's doubt as to this species being 

 a Populus, I have no better suggestion to offer. Found in the 

 Magothy formation at Deep Cut, Delaware.

Ficus aligera Lesq. FI. Dak. Group 84.//. io.f.j-6. 1892. 

 These small oval entire leaves with winged petioles and stout 

 midribs are rather small for this genus. The leaf-substance is 

 thick and the venation is immersed. My collections contain sev- 

 eral complete specimens from the pits of the Cliffwood Brick Com- 

 pany which do not differ from Lesquereux's type figures except 

 that they do not show the secondary venation. 



Ficus Krausiana Heer, Fl. v. Moletein 15. pL j.f. 3-6. 1869. 

 Several characteristic fragments of this species occur in the 

 thin layers of Magothy clay, just beneath the Matawan contact at 

 Grove Point, Md.

This rather anomalous leaf I take to be an abnormal one of 

 this species, which is so common in the coastal plain Cretaceous. 

 It is an especially common and variable species in the New Jer- 

 sey Raritan, but has also been collected from Cliffwood bluff. 



The leaf before us is ovate with truncate base and pointed 

 apex, triple-veined. A sharp sinus divides one half of the leaf into 

 two nearly equal rounded lobes, which give it the appearance of 

 certain leaves from the Cenomanian of Bohemia which Velenovsky 

 has described * as Crotonophyllum cretaceum, the resemblance be- 

 ing especially close to his figures 7 and // of that species.
