(E. (?) angustifolia). In all probability neither of these 
leaves is related to Hucalyptus. 
The secondaries spring from the midrib at an angle of 45° 
to 50° and are approximately straight and parallel, about 
1.8 mm. apart, some opposite, others irregular ; intermediate 
tertiaries give alternate branches to each secondary. The 
venation is not characteristic of Hucalyptus, and resembles 
somewhat that of Laurophyllum reticulatum Lesq., but our 
specimen is a smaller, relatively narrower leaf. A second 
specimen shows a marginal vein connecting the secondaries 
about .5 mm. from the margin. 
STERCULIACEAE, 
Stercuyia Linn. Sp. Pl. 1007. 1753. 
Nearly one hundred existing species of the tropics of both 
hemispheres. American fossil species are some seventeen 
in number, distributed as follows: Potomac 1, Cheyenne 
Sandstone 1, Raritan 1, Island Raritan 2, Dakota 8, Creta- 
ceous of British Columbia 1, Denver 1, Green River 1. 
None have been recognized in the Atane beds of Green- 
land, although one species occurs at Patoot. One species has 
been recorded from the Island of Sachalin; the genus is 
present in the upper Cretaceous of Europe and some sixteen 
species have been described from the European Tertiary de- 
posits, although the American Tertiary is practically barren 
of these plants.

It is to be hoped that more and fuller remains may be dis- 
covered of this beautiful species. The present specimen in- 
dicates a trilobed leaf with entire margin and decurrent base ; 
lobes diverging at an angle of about 45° or less, with nearly 
parallel margins and acute tips (?); the secondaries branch 
at a wide angle and their tips are joined by rather straight 
arches.
