This well-defined species of Ficus was originally called F. protogxa by Heer; 

 but inasmuch as Ettingshausen had previously used the name for an apparently 

 different species Heer subseqiiently renamed his species F. atavina, acknowledging 

 his oversight in the matter. The species is common to the Atane and Patoot beds 

 of Greenland, and it has been found on Marthas Vineyard, Long Island, and at 

 Cliffwood, N. J. So far as our present knowledge is concerned its distribution 

 seems to be confined to Greenland and eastern North America.

Ficus atavina Heer ? Hollick, Trans. New York Acad. Sci., vol. 11, 1892, p. 103, pi. 4, figs. 4, 6. 



This species is hardly separable from F. BecJcwithii Lesq.," and in some speci- 

 mens it is almost impossible to determine to which species they should be referred. 

 For this reason I have iiicluded all of ours under the older specific name.

PI. XI, figs. 1, 2. 

 Ficus sapindifolia Hollick, Bull. New York Bot. Gard., vol. 3, 1904, p. 411, pi. 78, fig. 5. 



This species has some of the characters of Ficus magnolisefolia Lesq.,'' but is 

 more unsymmetrical and in tliis respect is suggestive of the genus Sapindus, as 

 indicated in the specific name. It may also be seen to have certain points of resem- 

 blance to F. Beclcwithii Lesq.,*^ but is broader and has a more robust midrib. The 

 type specimen is represented by our fig. 1 .
