 1895 (1896), p. 107, pi. 47, figs. 1-8. 



This very unsatisfactory specimen is referred to this species with considerable 

 hesitation and the identification must be regarded as merely provisional. 



Locality: Dosoris Island, Long Island. Collected by Bailey Willis. Specimen 

 in Mus. New York Bot. Gard. 



Order MALVALES. 



Family STERCULIACE.E. 



Steeculia pee-labkusca n. sp. 



PI. XXXrV, figs. 21, 22. 



Sterculia Idbmsca Ung. HoUick, Bull. Geol. Soc. Am., vol. 7, p. 13. 



Leaf narrowly lobed, entire; lobes more or less flexuous or irregular in shape; secondary nervation fine, 

 often branched, irregularly disposed, leaving the primary nerves at varying angles of divergence and extending 

 to the margins. 



The decision to found a new species upon these fragmentary remains may be 

 open to criticism, but I can not avoid the conviction that they should be so regarded 

 and that they represent a species allied to Sterculia lahrusca Ung.," from the Tertiary 

 of Europe. Subsequent figures by Ettingshausen '' approach ours even more closely 

 in general appearance and indicate a close relationsliip. 



Locality: Gay Head, Marthas Vineyard. Collected by David White. Speci-

Steeculia Snowii Lesquereux? 



PI. XXXIV, fig. 20. 



StereidiaSTioioii Lesq.,Mon. U. S. Geol. Survey, vol. 17 (Fl. Dak. Gr.), 1892, p. 183, pi. 30, fig. 5; pi. 31, figs. 2, 3; 

 pi. 32; pi. 33, figs. 1-4. 



I have referred this fragment to the above species provisionally, although it is 

 possible that even the generic reference may be erroneous. It is evidently a portion 

 of a lobed leaf which might perhaps belong to either a Sterculia, an Aralia, or a 

 Sassafras.
