BLOCK ISLAXD. 59 



Abth. II, p. 65, pi. xli, fig. 4b) I have been in doubt under 

 which species to place our specimen. 



Locality : Near Black Rock Point, Block Island, 



7. Salix prote^folia lanceolata Lesq. 

 (PL. IV. Fig. 4.) 



Salix protaefolia var. lanceolata Lesq. Fl. Dakota Group, p. 



50, pi. Ixiv, figs. 6-8. 



A large number of varieties and forms have been classed under 

 this species. Our specimen is almost identical with Lesquereux* 

 fig. 8, above quoted. 



Locality : Near Black Rock Point, Block Island. 



8. Salix prote.efolia flexuosa Lesq. 



(PL IV. Fig. 5a.) 



Salix protecefolia var. flcxtiosa Lesq. Fl. Dakota Group, p. 50, 

 pi. Ixiv, figs. 4, 5. 



Recognized also from Long Island and Martha's Vineyard. 

 Locality : Near Black Rock Point, Block Island. 



9. Ficus Krausiana Heer. 

 (PI. III. Fig. I.) 



Ficus Krausiana Heer, Fl. Moletein, p. 15, pl. v, figs. 3-6. 



In naming our specimen I have been somewhat influenced 

 by the fact that this species is recognized by Lesquereux in the 

 Dakota group of the West (Fl. Dakota Group, p. 81, pl. 1., 

 fig. 5), although it might equally well be compared with Vele- 

 novsky's Ficus suspccta (Fl. Boehm, Kreidef, part iv, p. 10 

 [71], pl. V [xxviii], figs. 6, 9). The two species, indeed, 

 I am inclined to consider as identical and the comparison of the 

 two is made especially significant when Velenovsky's figure 9 

 is examined. It has also been recognized in the Martha's 

 Vineyard Cretaceous flora. 



Locality : Near South East Point, Block Island.
