meat beneath the scales, the subsequent pressure distorting them 

 and causing the scales to stand out at almost right angles to the 

 axis, for it may be noted that they are all nearly flat on one side, 

 I have provisionally referred them to Coemans' species, from 

 the nearly homotaxial horizon in Belgium, to which they are at 

 least very closely related. 



Myrica Brittoniana nom. nov. 



Myrica Heerii Berry, Am. Nat. 37 : 682./ 7, 5. 1903. Not J/. Heerii Boulay. 



I find that this beautifiul species of Myrica cannot retain the 

 name commemorativ^e of the eminent Swiss paleobotanist, which was 

 previously used by Boulay, Bull. Soc. Bot. France, 34 ; 255 (1887) 

 for a Miocene species. I take pleasure m renaming it in honor 

 of the distinguished Director of the New York Botanical Garden. 



Betulites POFULiFOLius Lesq.(?) Plate 2, figure 6 



Bciuliies popuIifoHus Lesq. Fl. Dak. Group, 64. pi. 6. f, /, 2, 1892. 



This species, heretofore known only from the Dakota Group 

 of Kansas, is represented by a fragment which does not show the 

 outline of the leaf, but agrees in venation with Lesquereux*s 

 species. This identification is not above question, however. 



Magnolia speciosa Heer. Plate 2, figures 4 and 5 



The collections contain numerous fragments of a rather large 

 leaved Magnolia which I refer to this species. 



Laurus proteaefolia Lesq, Plate 2, figure 3 



Recent collections contain several leaves of this species, includ- 

 ing the one here figured. 



Celastropiiyllum elegans Berry. Plate 2, figure i 



Celastrophylium elegans Berry, Bull. N. Y. Bot. Card. 3 : 84. pL 43. f> 6. 1903 



My collections contain a hitherto unnoticed fragment of a 

 much larger leaf of this species,
