Salix proteacfolia flexuosa Lesq. Fl. Dak. Group, 50. i. 
445 f- 4, 5. 1892. 
Dakota Group: Kansas. Cretaceous: Seacliff, Long Is- 
land (Hollick, ’94) and Block Island (Hollick, 98). 
The smaller leaf is similar to the smaller forms referred to 
the above species. It resembles a number of small lanceolate 
leaves of varied affinities such as Lesquereux’s Andromeda 
afints, the smaller forms of Myrica longa Heer from the Da- 
kota (but has a narrower base), and Laurus angusta Heer 
as figured in Fl. Foss. Arct. 7: £1. 57. f. 76; the latter is, 
however, considerably smaller than Heer’s figures of this same 
species in the same work, v. 6’, and also much smaller than 
the leaf which Lesquereux refers to this species in the Flora 
of the Dakota Group. 
Were our specimen (7. 48. f. 12) somewhat more linear it 
might be compared to Hucalyptus Dakotensis, but there is 
no doubt that it is a Sadzx. The larger leaves (p/. 52. f. 2) 
show the characteristic venation of this species. 
Salix Mattewanensis sp. nov. /%. 51. f. 5. 
A small ovate-lanceolate leaf with an obtuse base and 
slender tapering tip, greatly resembling several modern 
willow leaves; secondaries regular, camptodrome. 
Except for its small size it is very similar to Salix mem- 
branacea Newb. There is considerable resemblance to 
Salix sp. (Fl. Amboy Clays, pl. 42. f. 6-8) only the tip is 
more elongated. There is also some resemblance to such 
leaves as Leguminosites constrictus Lesq. and to several of 
the forms referred to Cassza.
