74 BERRY: FLORA OF THE MATAWAN FORMATION 
Ludwig, 1858, describes them from the Miocene lignite beds of Wetterau at Dor- 
m in Hesse, and Engelhardt, 1870, detects the same species (Myrica granulosa) in 
the Tertiary of Saxony, at Quatitz and Kleinsaubernitz. 
Heer, 1859, describes fruits of A/yrica Ungeri from the Miocene of Switzerland. 
Heer, 1868, refers fruit and leaves from the Tertiary of North Greenland (Atane- 
kerdluk) to Myrica acuminata Unger. 
eer, 1869, describes seeds in the same clays with the leaves of AZyrica Schenk- 
iana from Quedlinburg (Senonian). The same year Heer describes fruit from Rix- 
hoft which he referred to Myrica Studeri and from Rauschen which he referred to 
sags ‘ peat Vindobonensis both from the Baltic Amber (Oligocene).

Lesquereux, 1874, describes stems and seeds from the Dakota group of Nebraska 
( Myricae? semina).

POPULITES TENUIFOLIUs Berry. 
A single leaf of this species collected on July 29, 1903. 
Quercus Hotticxi Berry. (PLATE 3, FIGURES 4, 5.) 
The present season’s collection contains two specimens of this 
species in which the margin is less serrate and more inclined to 
be crenate, characters which are not very well brought out in the 
plate. They show some resemblance to Celastrophyllum crenatum 
Heer, but have a more ascending base and straighter secondaries. 
Quercus eoprinoides sp. nov. (PLATE 4, FIGURE 11.) 
Leaf ovate-lanceolate, about 10cm. long by 3.5 cm. in greatest 
width ; coarsely toothed, the rounded teeth becoming mere undu- 
lations toward the base ; secondaries straight craspedodrome, leav- 
ing the midrib at an angle of about 35° ; venation much obscured ; 
leaf-substance apparently thin but coriaceous in texture. 
Among the fossil leaves of this genus, ours shows some re- 
semblance to the forma obtusata of Quercus Westfalica of Hesius 
& von der Marck (Senonian). In size and outline it may be — 
compared with Quercus flexuosa Newb. from the Cretaceous of |
