DESCRIPTIONS OF SPECIES. 99 



largely for that reason I have concluded to regard these two specimens as forms of 

 one species. 



Locality: Nashaquitsa, Marthas Vineyard, PL XXXVII, figs. 3, 6. Collected 

 by David White. Specimen in U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Gay Head, Marthas Vineyard, PL XXXVII, figs. 4, 5. Collected by David 

 White. Specimen in U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Aralia Ravniana Heer. 



PL XXXVII, figs. 1, 2. 



Aralia Ravniana Heer, Fl. Foss. Arct., vol. 6 (abth. 2), 1882, p. 84, pi. 38,' figs. 1,2; Berry, Bull. New York 



Bot. Gard., vol. 3, 1903, p. 92, pi. 46, fig. 7; pi. 53, fig. 2; pi. 57, fig. 1[«]. 

 Sterculia Snowii Lesq. ? Hollick, Annals New York Acad. Sci., vol. 11, 1898, p. 422, pi. 37, fig. 4. 



These are not very satisfactory specimens upon which to base definite con- 

 clusions, but they agree fairly well with this species and with similar fragmentary 

 remains so referred by Berry from the clay marls of Cliffwood, N. J. (loc. cit.). 



Locality: Gay Head, Marthas Vineyard, PL XXXVII, fig. 1. Collected by 

 David White. Specimen in U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Tottenville, Staten Island, PL XXXVII, fig. 2. Collected by Arthur Hol- 

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



Aralia nassauensis Hollick. 



PI. XXXVIII, figs. 1,2. 

 Aralia Nassauensis Hollick, Bull. Torrey Bot. Club, vol. 21, 1894, p. 55, pi. 174, figs. 3, 7. 



This species, of which the type specimens are here figured, appears to be related 

 to A. Wetlingtoniana Lesq., a but is much broader. 



Locality: Brooklyn, Long Island; fig. 1 collected by W. Miles; fig. 2 collected 

 by J. C. Brevoort. Specimens in Mus. Long Island Hist. Soc. 



Aralia coriacea Velenovsky. 



PI. XXXVIII, figs. 5, 6. 



Aralia coriaceaYeh, Fl. Bohm. Kreideform., pt. 3, 1884, p. 11 (58), pi. 1 (16), figs. 1-9; pi. 2 (17), fig. 2; Hol- 

 lick, Bull. Geol. Soc. Am., vol. 7, 1895, p. 13; Bull. New York Bot. Gard.,vol. 3, 1904, p. 415, pi. 73, fig. 3. 



This species appears to be quite well denned in our specimens, and fig. 5 resem- 

 bles so closely the shorter forms depicted by Velenovsky (loc. cit.) that there seems 

 to be every reason for regarding them as identical. Several other specimens, more 

 fragmentary however than those figured, are included in the collections from Gay 

 Head and Glen Cove, so that it may be regarded as a not uncommon element of our 

 insular flora in those localities. 



Locality: Glen Cove, Long Island, PI. XXXVIII, fig. 5. Collected by 

 Arthur Hollick. Specimen in Mus. New York Bot. Gard. 



Gay Head, Marthas Vineyard, PL XXXVIII, fig. 6. Collected by David 

 White. Specimen in U. S. Nat. Mus.
