Myrica Zenkeri (Ettingshausen) Velenovsky? 



PL VII, fig. 23. 



Myrica Zenkeri (Etts.) Vel., Fl. Bohm. Kreideform, part 2, 1883, p. 13 (38), pi. 3 (11), figs. 1-9. 

 Dryandroides Zenkeri Etts., Kreidefl. Niederschcena, 1867, p. 257, pi. 3, figs. 1, 3, 11. 



Whatever may be thought of the identity of our fragment with the original 

 figures of Ettingshausen (loc. cit.) there is no question that it bears a striking resem- 

 blance to some of the specimens figured by Velenovsky (loc. cit., figs. 3, 4), and also 

 to some extent with Celastrophyllum angustifolium Newb. a In Newberry's dis- 

 cussion of this latter species, however, he refers to the figures of Ettingshausen and 

 Velenovsky and says (loc. cit., p. 101): "Though perhaps generically identical — 

 but rather as Celastrophyllum than Myrica — specifically our leaves are distinct. "

Ament of Myrica sp. 



PI. VII, fig. 22. 



This organism apparently consists of an elongated aggregation of rounded, 

 punctate or roughened fruits or seeds. These latter have much the appearance of 

 Carpoliihes patootensis Heer, b in regard to which he says (loc. cit.): "They belong 

 perhaps to Myrica," and considers them as identical with similar seeds previouslv 

 described as belonging to this genus. c The fact that our specimens appear to be 

 rough, while Heer's are described as smooth, may, however, be due to the character 

 of the matrix. Our specimen, although somewhat larger, bears also a striking 

 resemblance to Myricanthium amentaceum Veh, d especially when compared with 

 his fig. 26 (loc. cit.), and to Heer's fruit of Myrica figured in Flora Fossilis Arctica, 

 vol. 6 (abth. 2), pi. 46, fig. 26, and his M. thulensis in Fl. Foss. Arct., vol. 3 (Kreide- 

 FL), 1874, pi. 31, fig. lc.

This species and the one next considered are not very satisfactorily differen- 

 tiated from each other by Heer, as may be seen by a comparison of his figures; and 

 those who have attempted to identify specimens with one or another of these species
