DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES. 115 
der Bohm. Kreidef, Vol. IV, Part III, p. 11, Pl. IV, figs. 5-7) is somewhat 
like A. Wellingtoniana in its three-lobed and denticulate margins, but in 
Velenovsky’s species the lobes are relatively longer and narrower, the 
denticulation is coarser, and the sinuses extend to the base of the leaf. 
From the other species of Aralia with which this is associated in the 
Amboy Clays this differs in having the margins of the lobes denticulate, 
since they all have entire margins. <A similar trilobate species of Aralia 
(A. Looziuna Sap. et Mar.) occurs in the Paleocene beds of Gelinden, but 
the leaves are smaller, less deeply cut, and the denticulation is coarser. 
A trilobate Aralia (A. formosa Heer) also occurs in the Upper Cre- 
taceous strata of Moletein, and Lesquereux figures (Cret. and Tert. FL, 
p- 60, Pl. XI, figs. 8, 4) what he considers leaves of the same species from 
the Dakota sandstones of Morrison, Colo., but these differ from those 
now before us in the much coarser dentation of the margins. It may even 
be said that in the Colorado species the margins are crenate, being set 
with closely approximated obtuse teeth or scallops, while in the leaves of 
A. Wellingtoniana the margins of the lobes—not the base—are set with 
remote, acute, awn-like teeth, as in A. macrophylla of the Green River 
Tertiary.

ARALIA QUINQUEPARTITA Lesq.

Aralia quinquepartita Lesquereux, Cret. F1., p. 90, Pl. XV, fig. 6. 
Two specimens contained in our collections, those now figured, I have 
been unable to distinguish from Lesquereux’s species from the Dakota 
group mentioned above. They also approach near to d. Ravniana Heer 
(FI. Foss. Arct., Vol. VI, Abth. IT, p. 84, Pl. XX XVIII, figs. 1, 2), but have 
the central lobe much narrower. Perhaps more material will bring out 
differences between our plant and that described by Lesquereux, but this 
seems improbable. Doubtless this should be added to the considerable 
number of species of fossil plants common to the Amboy Clays and the 
Dakota sandstones. 
Locality: Woodbridge.
