land, which, although very fragmentary, may be seen to have a 
striking resemblance to ours. For purposes of comparison this 
figure is reproduced on PLaTE 77, FIG. 2. These beds belong to 
practically the same geologic horizon as our Long Island Cre- 
taceous and a number of species are known to be common to both, 
so that there is a strong probability that Heer’s Velumbium arctt- 
cum may be identical with our WVelumbo Kempiz. In any event 
we have in these remains the oldest known record of the genus.

On account of the fragmentary nature of this specimen its refer- 
ence to the above species is made provisional only. If the midrib 
were more robust itwould compare quite satisfactorily with A/agnolza 
amplifolia Weer (Kreide-Fl. Moletein, 21. Af. 8, f. z, 2; pl. 9, 
f- 1), as there is a slight indication of inequality between the two 
sides of our leaf. It is apparently identical with the fragment re- 
ferred to AL. tenutfolia by Berry, from the Cretaceous of Cliffwood, 
N. J. (Bull. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 3: 77. fl. 47, f. 20) and it also 
has a strong resemblance to JZ. pseudo-acuminata Lesq. (Fl. Dak. 
Gr. Monog. U. S. Geol. Surv. 17: 199. pl. 2g, f. 2), from 
Kansas.

This is one of the most clearly defined and abundantly represented 
species in the Cretaceous of Long Island, and a fine specimen from 
Glen Cove was one of the first found at that locality (Trans. 
N. Y. Acad. Sci. 12: 234. pl. 6, f. 6. 1893), but it does not 
seem to be common elsewhere in the region. A fragment from 
Cliffwood, N. J., has been referred to this species by Berry 
(Bull. Torrey Club, 31: 76. pl. 3, f. 3. 1904) and Lesquereux 
identified the species in a collection from Sayreville, N. J. (Geol.
