The generic determination of Ericaceous leaves is always 
however a matter of extreme uncertainty, which is fully 
shared by the following distributed American forms: Rari- 
tan 6, Island Raritan 1, Dakota 9, Woodbine 1, Montana 1, 
Laramie 2, Livingston 1, Denver 1, Green River 2, Eocene 
2, Miocene 1, Pleistocene 2, Atane 2, Greenland Tertiary 5.

This species is recorded from the following localities: 
Dakota Group: Kansas, Nebraska, and New Ulm, Minn. 
Cretaceous: Sea Cliff, L. I., Tottenville, Staten Island 
and Martha’s Vineyard. Raritan: common at nearly every 
locality opened. Greenland: Atane beds at Atanekerdluk, 
Isunguak and Igdlokunguak. 
Newberry (/. c.) is inclined to doubt the reference of all 
these leaves to Azdromeda, pointing out that generic determi- 
nations of most Ericaceous leaves are always doubtful. Heer 
compares his Greenland specimens to Ettingshausen’s Laurus 
cretacea from Niederschona. In our /f. ¢ the finer reticula- 
tion is very minute and five- or six-sided. 
MYRSINACEAE.

Fossil American species occur in the following formations : 
Raritan 3, Island Raritan 3, Dakota 2, Green River 1, Atane 
1, Greenland Tertiary 2.
