base on the larger side, otherwise they are quite similar. 
They may be either small leaves of Sapéndus Morrisond or 
else new forms altogether. It may well be that the leaves re- 
ferred to the widely distributed Sapzndus Morrisons, as indi- 
cated above, embrace more than one species. 
This is another species which we could expect to find in 
the Raritan formation.

As remarked under Sapindus Morrisonz, this might well be 
a small leaf of that species. Recorded by Hollick from the 
Matawan; not found by me. 
- CELASTROPHYLLUM Gopp. Tertiarfl. Java, 52. 1854. 
This extinct genus includes leaves related to those of 
Colastrus. It has ten species in the Potomac, ten in the 
Raritan, one in the Island series, seven in the Dakota, two 
in the Matawan, one in the Atane beds and three in the 
Patoot beds. 
Celastrophyllum elegans sp. nov. V7. 43. f. 6. 
A handsome ovate-lanceolate leaf about 6 cm. long and 10 
mm. wide at its widest part which is about midway between 
the base and the apex; with a somewhat wedge-shaped base, 
an evenly rounded apex and a slightly undulating margin; 
there are eleven shallow indentations on each side, the lowest 
about 6 mm. from the base; petiole rather stout, 10 mm. in 
length; secondaries branch at an angle of somewhat more 
than 45° and are straight to within a short distance of the 
margin, curving and forming arches only about one milli- 
meter from it. 
Hollick refers a leaf from this formation to Celastrophyllum 
Newberryanum; ours is a narrower longer leaf with more 
regular secondaries. Compared with the Amboy Clay leaves 
of C. Mewberryanum ours is a longer more slender leaf. 
C. Newberryanum was however an abundant and very vari- 
able leaf and some of Newberry’s figures approach ours quite
