110 FLORA OF SOUTHERN NEW YORK ANIX NEW ENGLAND. 



Carpolithus euonymoides n. sp. 

 PI. VII, fig. 2. 

 Carpolithus sp. HoUick, Trans. New York Acad. Sci., vol. 12, 1892, p. 38, pi. 1, fig. 4. 



This fruit is suggestive of Celastrus or Euonymus, although it appears to have 

 had more than five carpels, wMch are not unlike the detached seeds showTi in figs. 9, 10. 



Locality: Tottenville, Staten Island. Collected by Arthur Hollick. Specimen 

 in Mus. Staten Island Assn. Arts and Sci. 



Carpolithus vacciniobdes n. sp. 



PI. VII, figs. 19, 19a. 

 Oarpolithm sp. Hollick, Trans. New York Acad. Sci., vol. 12, 1892, p. 38, pi. 1, figs. 16, 16 



In general appearance these remains are suggestive of a raceme of some species 

 of Vaccinium, although the details of the inflorescence seem to be more like those of 

 some glumaceous plant. The specific name is therefore to be considered as merely 

 indicative of its superficial aspect. 



Locality: KJreischerville, Staten Island. Fig. 19 nat. size; fig. 19a enlarged. 

 Collected by Arthur Hollick. Specimen in Mus. Staten Island Assn. Arts and Sci. 



Carpolithus floribundus Newberry. 



PI. VII, figs. 20, 21. 



Carpolithus florihundus Newb., Mon. U. S. Geol. Survey, vol. 26 (Fl. Amboy Clays), 1895 (1896), p. 133, pl. 46, 

 figs. 17-21. 



It is perhaps not certain that these specimens are identical with Newberry's 

 species, but their points of resemblance are certainly very similar and the slight dif- 

 ferences which might be noted would be difficult to define. 



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

 mens in U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Carpolithus hirsutus Newberry. 



PI. VII, figs. 3-8. 



Carpolithus hirsutus Newb., Mon. U. S. Geol. Survey, vol. 26 (Fl. Amboy Clays), 1895 (1896), p. 134, pl. 46, 



figs. 14, 14a. 

 "Carpolithus spinosus Newb.," Hollick, Bull. Geol. Soc. Am. vol. 7, 1895, p. 13. 



The characters of this species are so well defined that there is no difficulty in 

 identifymg it. The remains are foimd in relative abundance m the Amboy clays, 

 and a number of specimens are included m the collections from Gay Head. 



Locality: Gay Head, Marthas Vinej^ard. Figs. S-5 collected by Arthur Hollick. 

 Specimens in Mus. New York Bot. Gard. Figs. 6-8 collected by David White.
