One other specimen (Hollick, loc. cit., f. 2) has been found on 
Long Island, which was originally referred to Laurus plutonia 
eer. 
Locality: Glen Cove, N. Y. Hollick, Berry and Bibbins, June 
23, 1905. 
LauROPHYLLUM LANCEOLATUM Newberry 
(PLATE 169, Fic. 2) 
Laurophyllum lanceolatum Newb., Monog. U. 8. Geol. Surv. 
26 (Fl. Amboy Clays): 87, pl. r7, f. 4, 12. 1895. 
This species is exceedingly difficult to distinguish from certain 
leaves which have been identified as, or referred to Laurus plutonia 
Heer, by various authors. If, however, they are to be regarded 
as distinct species, our specimen is undoubtedly identical with 
Newberry’s figure 12 (loc. cit.). 
The species has not heretofore been recognized in any of the 
Long Island coilections, but a leaf from Block Island, which was 
referred by me to Laurus plutonia,t might well be included in 
Laurophyllum lanceolatum in accordance with my present inter- 
pretation of the species. 
Locality: Glen Cove, N. Y. Hollick, Berry and Bibbins, June 
23, 1905. 
Laurophyllum ocoteaeoides sp. nov. 
(Pate 169, Fires. 1, 6) 
Leaf broadly guess and a falcate, slightly inequi- 
lateral at the base, en .§ dm. or more in engt 
in maximum widt Payee wedge-shaped at the base, apparently 
narrowed to a blunt apex at the summit; midrib strong; secondary 
nerves fine, mostly leaving the midrib at obtuse or right angles, 
it, together forming a fine reticulated network throughout 
This beautiful and well-defined species is quite closely similar 
to a number of living species in the Lauraceous genera Oreodaphne, 
Persea, Nectandra and Ocotea and this relationship is indicated in 
the name adopted.
