( 80 ) 
leaving the midrib at an angle somewhat less than 45° and 
curving upward with a long sweep, becoming nearly parallel 
with the margin, along which they form small shallow arches, 
the connecting branches to the secondary next above being 
small and transverse. 
Species dedicated to Dr. Arthur Hollick, who suggested its 
Lauraceous affinity. 
This species is quite similar to Daphnophyllum Dakotense 
Lesq. from the Dakota group, which Lesquereux compares 
with Daphne protogaca Ett.* Our leaf is somewhat nar- 
rower and the distal portions of the secondaries are straighter. 
There is also considerable resemblance in outline to various 
species of Salix and some of the lanceolate species of Ficus. 
LavuROPHYLLUM Gopp. Tertiarfl. Java, 45. 1854. 
An entirely extinct genus containing leaves supposed to be 
allied to Laurus and including five American species in the 
Raritan, Mill Creek and Upper Cretaceous. 
LAUROPHYLLUM ANGUSTIFOLIUM Newb. 7. 47. f.1, 5,8, 
Pl. 49. f- 1-5: 
Laurophyllum angustifolium Newb. Fl. Amboy Clays, 86. 
1.17. f. 10, 12. 1896. 
Remains of leaves, which by their narrow elongated shape, 
thick midrib, and coriaceous texture are allied to this species 
of Newberry from the Amboy Clays at Woodbridge are very 
common at Cliffwood. The remains are very poor, how- 
ever, consisting of larger or smaller fragments of the basal 
portions of leaves. The petiole (preserved in f. 5) is short 
and stout. 
Newberry compares his leaves with some of Heer’s Myrica 
Jonga, but the latter lack the straight narrowly ascending 
basal margins and are rather abruptly rounded. If Arctic 
analogues are necessary we may point out the resemblance 
to the Tertiary Laurus Reusszd Ett. or to forms of Laurus 
angusta Heer from Atane (Fl. Foss. Arct. 67: pl. 43, f. IC).
