﻿Berry 
  — 
  Cretaceous 
  Hymencea 
  from 
  Alabama. 
  67 
  

  

  from 
  the 
  Cenomanian 
  of 
  Bohemia, 
  and 
  recorded 
  by 
  

   Hollick 
  4 
  from 
  the 
  Magothy 
  formation 
  of 
  Marthas 
  Vine- 
  

   yard. 
  The 
  latter 
  determination 
  may 
  well 
  be 
  questioned. 
  

   In 
  Hymencea 
  primigenia 
  the 
  leaflets 
  are 
  petiolate, 
  some- 
  

   what 
  variable 
  in 
  form, 
  larger, 
  and 
  frequently 
  have 
  

   crenate-dentate 
  margins. 
  The 
  other 
  previously 
  known 
  

   American 
  Cretaceous 
  species 
  is 
  Hymencea 
  dakotana 
  

   described 
  by 
  Lesquereux 
  5 
  from 
  the 
  Dakota 
  sandstone 
  of 
  

   Kansas, 
  and 
  recorded 
  by 
  Newberry 
  6 
  from 
  the 
  Raritan 
  

  

  formation 
  (probably 
  upper 
  Earitan) 
  of 
  New 
  Jersey, 
  by 
  

   Hollick 
  7 
  from 
  Long 
  Island 
  and 
  Marthas 
  Vineyard, 
  and 
  

   b>y 
  the 
  present 
  writer 
  8 
  from 
  the 
  Magothy 
  formation 
  of 
  

   New 
  Jersey. 
  This 
  widespread 
  species 
  is 
  usually 
  repre- 
  

   sented 
  by 
  what 
  are 
  regarded 
  as 
  detached 
  leaflets 
  which 
  

   are 
  not 
  certainly 
  identifiable. 
  These 
  are 
  not 
  unlike 
  those 
  

   of 
  Hymencea 
  fayettensis, 
  but 
  in 
  general 
  the 
  former 
  are 
  

   much 
  smaller 
  and 
  more 
  inequilateral, 
  with 
  shorter 
  tips
