These leaves have a distant resemblance to Lesquereux’s 
Cissites formosus Heer (Fl. Dak. Group, f/. 2z. f. 5) but 
bear no resemblance to the Amboy Clay leaves which New- 
berry refers to that species. Our leaves also suggest some 
forms of Avalia such as A. quinguepartita Lesq., but the 
base is apparently not decurrent and the primaries branch 
from the midrib at the same place, the lateral ones at nearly 
right angles. 
Aralia Brittoniana sp. nov. f7. 45. f. 3. 
I have been unable to identify this with any known species 
of Arala and therefore add another to the long list of diver- 
sified leaves of this genus which have been found in the 
Raritan and Matawan formation. In size and outline it re- 
sembles Aralia acertfolia Lesq. of the Fort Union beds of the 
West, but the secondaries are stronger and more regular. 
The specimen denotes a leaf which was trilobed with an evi- 
dent tendency to produce an extra latero-basal lobe on each 
side; with a broadly truncated base which curves upward 
for about half the distance to the tip to form a point above 
which the margin is concave; lobes presumably acute; ter- 
minal lobe broad with moderately convex sides; sinus to be- 
low the middle, rounded; primary and secondary venation 
strong, but tertiary venation entirely obsolete; lateral pri- 
mary could not have branched far from the base and forms 
an angle of about 45° with the midrib, leaving room for a 
secondary below; secondaries regular, leaving the primaries 
at a wide angle and running straight to within a short dis- 
tance of the margin and then curving to join the secondary 
next above. Our only specimen was evidently not bilaterally 
symmetrical. 
ERICACEAE. 
ANDROMEDA Linn. Sp. Pl. 393. 1753. 
At the present time a monotypic genus of the north tem- 
perate and subarctic zone. Many fossil leaves have been 
referred here, some twenty-five species in this country alone.
