DESCRIPTIONS OF SPECIES. 53 



Salix purptjroides Hollick. 



PI. VIII, fig. 11. 

 Salix purpuroides Hollick, Bull. Torrey Bot. Club, vol. 21, 1894, p. 50, pi. 174, fig. 9. 



This leaf, by reason of its small size, long tapering base, and relatively broad 

 upper part, was regarded as worthy of a distinct specific designation. The type 

 specimen here figured is the only one thus far found. 



Locality: Sea Cliff, Long Island. Collected by Gilbert Van Ingen. Specimen 

 in Mus. New York Bot. Gard. 



Salix sp. 



PI. VIII, fig. 13. 

 Salix, sp? Hollick, Trans. New York Acad. Sci., vol. 12, 1892, p. 32, pi. 2, fig. 15. 



This fragment is more than likely to be a portion of a leaf of some described 

 species or variety of Salix, but itis too imperfectfor more thanageneric identification. 



Locality: Kreischerville, Staten Island. Collected by Arthur Hollick. Speci-

Order MYRICALES. 

 Family MYRICACE^. 



Myrica Davisii Hollick. 



PI. VII, fig. 25. 

 Myrica Davisii Hollick, Trans. New York Acad. Sci., vol. 12, 1892, p. 32, pi. 2, fig. 3. 



This species, except in its smaller size, hardly differs from Myrica longa (Heer), ° 

 and might perhaps be identified with it, as may be seen by comparison with Heer' s 

 fig. 4 (loc. cit), but as our specimen was originally described under a distinct 

 specific name I have not thought it advisable to make any change. The type 

 specimen here figured is the only one thus far found. 



Locality: Kreischerville, Staten Island. Collected by William T. Davis. 

 Specimen in Mus. Staten Island Assn. Arts and Sci. 



Myrica Hollicki Ward. 



PL VII, fig. 24. 



Myrica Hollicki Ward, Am. Jour. Sci., vol. 45, 1893, p. 437. 



Myrica grandifolia Hollick, Trans. New York Acad. Sci., vol. 12, 1892, p. 32, pi. 3, fig. 1. Not M. grandifolia 

 (Ung.) Schimp., Pal. Veg., vol. 2, 1872, p. 559. 



The type specimen of this species here figured is the only one thus far found, 

 and, although imperfectly preserved, it shows well-marked characters sufficient to 

 separate it from any other described species. The specific name originally applied 

 to it was found to be preoccupied, and Dr. Lester F. Ward, who first noted this fact, 

 proposed to substitute the name which is here adopted.

aProteoides longus Heer, Fl. Foss. Arct., vol. 3 (Kreide-FL), p. 110, pi. 29, fig. 8b; pi. 31, figs. 4, 5.
