This species is thus far only represented by a small frag- 
ment from Cliffwood, although common in the Raritan Clays 
at Sayreville and Woodbridge, and also reported from Kreis- 
cherville, Staten Island, by Hollick. 
PROTEACEAE. 
Proteorpes Heer, Phyll. Crét. Nebr. 17. 1866. 
This extinct genus, which is supposed to be allied to the 
existing genus Protea, has some eight fossil American species 
as follows: Raritan 2, Dakota 4, Mill Creek 1, Vancouver 
3. Many fossil species of Proteaceae have been described 
from the European Tertiary but considerable doubt has been 
expressed as to the real affinity of many of them, their re- 
semblance to various species of Coniferae, Meliaceae, Sapin- 
daceae and Myricaceae being pointed out.

Remains of this species are common in the clays near Cliff- 
wood, but very fragmentary. Previously recorded from the 
Dakota group at Decatur, Nebraska; Raritan at Wood- 
bridge, Sayreville, etc., N. J.; the Mill Creek series at Mill 
Creek and the Cretaceous on Staten Island and Long Island.
