Ericales 



Andromeda Novae-Caesareae Hollick, in Newb. Fl. Amboy 



Clays 121.//. 42. f. 9-12 , 28-31. 1896. 



I have four specimens of this well marked small leaf from 

 Grove Point, two of which are perfect. They are identical with 

 Hollick's figures from New Jersey, representing a broadly lanceo- 

 late leaf, equally pointed at both ends, with ascending curved 

 secondaries. 



Andromeda Parlatorii Heer, Phyll. Cret. Nebr. 18. pi. 1. J. 

 1866. 



This well-known and widespread Cretaceous species was found 

 at Deep Cut, Del., and Grove Point, Md. 



Ebenales 



Djospyros rotundifolia Lesq. Cret. Fl. 89. pl.jo.f. i, la. 1874. 



Our leaves agree with Hollick's specimens from Long Island 

 and with the numerous examples from Kansas figured in the 

 Flora of the Dakota group, which are somewhat smaller than 

 the type. 



This is a common form in the pits of the Clififwood Brick 

 Company, N. J., at Deep Cut, Del., and at Grove Point, Md., 

 thus becoming a characteristic species of the Magothy formation. 



Sapotacites Knowltoni sp. nov. Plate 8, figure i. 



Sapotacites sp. ? Lesq. Fl. Dak. Group 114. pi. 6j.f.j. 1892. 



An oval leaf, 5.5 to 6 cm. long, round-emarginate at the apex, 

 with full rounded margins to the base. Secondaries ascending, 

 camptodrone, their angle of separation rather acute. This is 

 obviously identical with the leaf figured by Lesquereux from the 



Dakota Group. 



rpotacites 



Heer as it occurs in the Raritan formation, but is considerably less 

 emarginate and is broadest across the middle and not toward the 

 base. The basal margins are convex and not concave and the 



secondaries are more ascending. 



This species, of which several specimens have been collected 

 at Deep Cut, Del., is very close to Sapotacites obovata Velen. 

 from the Cenomanian of Bohemia, the latter being somewhat 

 larger, and narrower toward the base.
