74 FLOEA OF SOUTHEKN NEW YOEK AND NEW ENGLAND. 



which is named " Phyllites durescens sp. nov." in the explanation of the plate. It 

 is evident, however, that this figure was included in the species through some error, 

 as it is not referred to in the descriptive text on page 218, and the specific descrip- 

 tion, while it agrees with the other figures (loc. cit., pi. 61, fig. 5; pi. 62, fig. 3), is 

 impossible of application to the former.

Family LAURACEyE. 



ClNNAMOMUM CRASSIPETIOLATUM n. Sp. 



PL XXX, figs. 3, 4. 



Leaves large, with thick, robust petioles about 3 centimeters in length; lateral nerves basilar, strong, with 

 ascending secondaries on the outer sides and connected on the inner sides with the midrib by parallel, upward- 

 bent cross nervation. 



These specimens appear to belong to a large species of Cinnamomum with a 

 conspicuously robust petiole, such as I have failed to find in connection with any 

 species hitherto described.

Cinnamomum intermedium Newberry. 



PI. XXIX, fig. 7; PI. XXX, figs. 1, 2. 



Cinnamomum intermedium Newb., Mon. U. S. Geol. Survey, vol. 26 (Fl. Amboy Clays), 1895 (1896), p. 89, pi. 

 29, figs, 1-8, 10; Hollick, Fifty-fifth Ann. Kept., New York State Mus., 1901 (1903), p. r50. 



Cinnamomum Sezannense Wat., Hollick, Bull. Torrey Bot. Club, vol. 21, 1894, p. 53, pi. 180, figs. 5,7; Fifty- 

 fifth Ann. Kept. New York State Mus., 1901 (1903), p. r50. 



This species is closely similar in general appearance to some forms of C. Scheu- 

 chzeri Heer, C. ellipsoideum Sap. and Mar., and C. sezannense Wat., as noted by New 

 berry in his discussion (loc. cit.). My original identification was with the latter 

 species, while Newberry, in discussing the resemblances and differences between 

 his Amboy clay specimens and C. ellipsoideum, says: "If, however, they had been 

 found in the same country and [in] beds of the same age, I should feel compelled to 

 consider them as but forms of that species. 7 ' The question of specific distinction, 

 however, is secondary to the fact, which is apparently conclusive, that these speci- 

 mens from Long Island are identical with those figured by Newberry from the 

 Amboy clays of New Jersey.
