can hardly be any question in regard to its relationship with Caz- 
linttes fecundus Lesq. (Tert. Fl. 101. p2. 14, f. 2-3), which Knowl- 
ton has transferred to the ferns (Oxoclea fecunda (Lesq.) Kn. 
Bull. U.S. Geol. Surv. 152: 153). In fact, if Lesquereux’s spe- 
cies had been described from the same geological horizon as ours I 
could hardly have questioned their specific identity. It is also 
almost certainly identical with the fragment described and figured 
by me from Glen Cove, N. Y. (Bull. Torrey Club, 21: 63. pd. 
180, f. II). 
Similar remains have been described and figured by Heer as 
the fertile fronds of ferns, and it may be that such reference is 
correct. In this connection it is of interest to compare our figure 
with those of Zhyrsopterts AMlaakiana Heer (Fl. Foss. Arct. 4 
(Beitr. Jura-Fl.): plz, f. 2b; pl. 2, f. 5,56), T. gracilis Heer 
(zbed, Zl. 1, f. 5), TZ. Alurrayana Heer (tb¢d. pl. 7, f. gb, ¢; pl. 
2, f. 4, 46) and Dicksonia clavipes Heer (zbid. pl. 2, f. 7,76) 
from the Jurassic flora of Siberia, and with Osmunda Oebergiana 
Heer (Fl. Foss. Arct. 3 (Kreide-Fl.): ff. 26, f. g@) from the 
Cretaceous of Greenland. The latter is particularly suggestive in 
its appearance and it occurs at a geological horizon that is practi- 
cally the equivalent of that represented on Long Island. 
Formation and locality: Cretaceous clay; Northport, Long 
Island, N. Y. 
Cocculus minutus sp. nov. 
(PLATE 70, FIG. 6.) 
Leaf small, about 12 mm. long by 4.5 mm. wide in the middle, 
elongated-elliptical (?), narrowly wedge-shaped below, entire, 3- 
nerved from the base; lateral primaries relatively close to the mar- 
gin, with exceedingly thin secondaries extending upward at acute 
angles from the outer side and others connecting on the inner side 
with the midrib at approximately right angles. 
This leaf, although much smaller, resembles very closely C. 
cinnaneomeus Vel. (Fl. Boehm. Kreideform. (Part IV) 4 [65]. 2. 
& [32], f. 26-27) and may belong to the same species, as Velenov- 
sky’s figures indicate that the leaves vary considerably in size. 
Collected by Mr. Heinrich Ries and originally determined by me 
as probably a new species of Padiurus (S. of M. Quarterly, 15: 
354): 
Formation and locality: Cretaceous clay; Northport, Long 
Island, N. Y.
