 Rhmnmis Pfaffiana Heer, HoUick, Trans. New York Acad. Sci., vol. 11, 1892, p. 103, pi. 4, fig. 2. 



The original determination of this specimen by me as Rham.nus Pfaffiana Heer 

 was undoubtedly erroneous, and there can be but little doubt that its present 

 reference is correct, and unquestionably the leaf is more like Andromeda than 

 are many to which that generic name has been applied.

Myrsine elongata Newberry. 



PI. VIII, fig. lb: PI. XXXIX, figs. 13, 14. 



Myrsine elom/ata Newb., Mon. U. S. Geol. Survey, vol. 26 (Fl. Amboy Clays), 1895 (1896), p. 122, pi. 22, 

 figs. 1-3; Hollick, Bull. Torrey Bot. Club, vol. 21, 1894, p. 54, pi. 177, fig. 2; Annals New York Acad. 

 Sci., vol. 11, 1898, p. 420, pi. 38, figs. 3, 4b. 



The specimen represented by our fig. 13 has a more elongated base than any 

 of Newberry's figures, thus giving to the leaf a spatulate shape, but a very slight 

 modification of the outlme would be sufficient to make it conform to the general 

 type, and I have but little hesitation in including it under this species.

Myrsine borealis Heer. 

 PL XXXIX, figs. 10, 11, 



Myrsine borealis Heer, Fl. Foss. Arct., vol. 3 (Kreide-Fl.), 1874, p. 113, pi. 32, fig. 23; White, Am. Jour. 



Sci., vol. 39, 1890, p. 98, pi. 2, fig. 5; Hollick, Bull. Geol. Soc. Am., vol. 7, 1895, p. 13; Newberry, Mon. 



U. S. Geol. Survey, vol. 26 (Fl. Amboy Qays), 1895 (1896), p. 122, pi. 24, figs. 4-6 [?]., 

 Diospyros rotundifolia Lesq., Hollick, Bull. Torrey Bot. Club, vol. 21, 1894, p. 53, pi. 179, fig. 2. 



I consider it very doubtful if the leaves from the Cretaceous of New Jersej^, 

 referred by Newberry to this species (loc. cit.), should be so regarded, but there 

 seems to be no room for doubt in regard to our specimens.
