 Rhus cretacea Heer, Kreide-Fl. Quedlinburg, 1872, p. 14, pi. 3, fig. 11. 



This specimen, although more robust, is so closely similar to this species that at 

 least a provisional reference seems warranted. In general appearance it is perhaps 

 more like the Tertiary species Rhus Pyrrhse Ung., a especially as depicted by Heer. 5 

 It also has some resemblance to the imperfect leaf described and figured by Lesque- 

 reux under the name Ficus ? undulata.

PlSTACIA AQUEHONGENSIS Hollick. 

 PL XXXIII, fig. 3. 

 Pistacia Aquehongensis Hollick, Annals New York Acad. Sci., vol. 11, 1898, p. 421, pi. 36, fig. 5. 



The type specimen, the figure of winch is here reproduced, is all that we have to 

 represent the species, and it is the only representative of the genus thus far found in 

 our region. It is closely similar to P. aquensis Sap./ which, however, is a European 

 Tertiary species. If the generic reference is correct, as it appears to be, the speci- 

 men is of considerable interest, as the only other supposed North American fossil 

 representatives of the genus are the specimens described by Lesquereux under the 

 name Ficus oblanceolata, from the Laramie group, 6 which Knowlton subsequently 

 relegated to Pistacia/
