122 THE FLORA OF THE AMBOY CLAYS. 
A. Pfafiana Heer, and are not unlike the specimen described and figured 
by Protessor Lesquereux (Fl. Dak. Grp. 118; RISE ie. 5) under the 
name A. linifolia; but our specimens are not so long-acuminate, and are too 
broad in proportion to their length, more nearly resembling 4. Snowii Lesq. 
(Fl. Dak. Gr., p. 117, Pl. XVII, fig. 16), but apparently sufficiently distinct 
to be regarded as a separate species.

Myrsine borealis Heer, Fl. Foss. Arct., Vol. VI, Abth. II, p. 81, Pl. XXIV, figs. 7b, 8; 
Pl. XX VII, fig. 1b; Pl. XLV, tig. 5a; Pl. XLVI, figs. 19, 20: 
Among the most common leaves in the Amboy Clays at all the loeali- 
ties where plants are found there is one which is small, sharply defined, 
oval or oblong in outline, 2.5°" to 4™ in length, and of thick and leathery 
consistence. The nervation is generally lost in the parenchyma of the leaf, 
but where seen it corresponds with the plant figured by Heer, which also 
seems to have been common in the Patoot and Atane beds of Greenland. 
Myrsine ELoNGATA Newb. n. sp. 
Pl. XXII, figs. 1-3. 
Leaves lanceolate, obtuse, entire, petioled, tapering to a wedge-shaped 
base, about 6.5°™ to 7™ long, including the petiole, by 2™ wide at broadest 
part; nervation that of Myrsine. 
No description accompanied these figures, but the above name appears 
upon the specimen labels in Dr. Newberry’s handwriting.

A single leaf with oblong outlme and entire margin, 25™" long by
