DESCRIPTIONS OF SPECIES. 63 



COCCULITES IMPERFECTUS n. sp. 



PI. XII, fig. 14. 



Leaf linear-elliptical (?) in outline, about 5 centimeters (?) long by 1.5 centimeters maximum width; 

 margin entire; nervation consisting of a midrib and two pairs of subparallel, equidistant lateral nerves, which 

 start at the base of the leaf; tertiary nerves parallel to each other and at right angles to the lateral nerves. 



It is possible that this specimen may represent a lower portion of a leaf of the 

 species next described, but the disposition of the lateral nerves is slightly different 

 and the angles between the tertiary and the lateral nerves appear to be more obtuse.

COCCULITES INQUIRENDUS n. Sp. 



PL XII, fig. 13. 

 Leaf linear-elliptical (?) in outline, about 5 centimeters (?) long by 1.5 centimeters maximum width; 

 margin entire; apex blunt; nervation aerodrome, consisting of a midrib and two pairs of subparallel lateral 

 nerves near the margin, with subparallel tertiary nerves connecting the midrib with the inner lateral nerves 

 and the lateral nerves with each other. 



This fragment has many points in common with Cocculites Kanii (Heer) Heer,° 

 although much smaller in size, and with Menispermites ovalis Lesq., 6 and the ques- 

 tion of generic reference appears to be merely a matter of personal choice.

There can be no question in regard to our specimens being identical with this 

 well-defined species, which is not uncommon on Long Island, but has not been 

 satisfactorily identified from elsewhere in this region, although it is listed by Les- 

 quereux as having been found at Sayreville, N. J., c and Berry describes and figures 

 a fragment of a leaf from Cliffwood, N. J., as belonging to the species , d In con- 

 nection with the former, however, Lesquereux says (loc. cit.) : " These specimens 

 are few and poor, and therefore the determinations are not positively ascertained/ ' 

 and the identity of the latter is very doubtful.
