102 FLORA OF SOUTHERN NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND. 



Andromeda tenuineryis Lesquereux. 

 Pi. XXXIX, fig. 7. 



Andromeda tenuinervis Lesq., Mon. U. S. Geol. Survey, vol. 17 (Fl. Dak. Gr.), 1892, p. 116, pi. 38, fig. 7. 

 Bhamnus Pfaffiana Heer, Hollick, Trans. New York Acad. Sci., vol. 11, 1892, p. 103, pi. 4, fig. 2. 



The original determination of this specimen by me as Rhamnus Pfaffiana Heer 

 was undoubtedly erroneous, and there can be but little doubt that its present 

 reference is correct, and unquestionably the leaf is more like Andromeda than 

 are many to which that generic name has been applied.

Order PRIMULALES. 



Family MYRSINACE^. 



Myrsine elongata Newberry. 



PI. VIII, fig. lb; PL XXXIX, figs. 13, 14. 



Myrsine elongata Newb., Mon. U. S. Geol. Survey, vol. 26 (Fl. Amboy Clays), 1895 (1896), p. 122, pi. 22, 

 figs. 1-3; Hollick, Bull. Torrey Bot. Club, vol. 21, 1894, p. 54, pi. 177, fig. 2; Annals New York Acad. 

 Sci., vol. 11, 1898, p. 420, pi. 38, figs. 3, 4b. 



The specimen represented by our fig. 13 has a more elongated base than any 

 of Newberry's figures, thus giving to the leaf a spatulate shape, but a very slight 

 modification of the outline would be sufficient to make it conform to the general 

 type, and I have but little hesitation in including it under this species.

Myrsine borealis Heer. 

 PI. XXXIX, figs. 10, 11. 



Myrsine borealis Heer, Fl. Foss. Arct., vol. 3 (Kreide-FL), 1874, p. 113, pi. 32, fig. 23; White, Am. Jour. 



Sci., vol. 39, 1890, p. 98, pi. 2, fig. 5; Hollick, Bull. Geol. Soc. Am., vol. 7, 1895, p. 13; Newberry, Mon. 



U. S. Geol. Survey, vol. 26 (Fl. Amboy Clays), 1895 (1896), p. 122, pi. 24, figs. 4-6 [?]. 

 Diospyros rotundifolia Lesq., Hollick, Bull. Torrey Bot. Club, vol. 21, 1894, p. 53, pi. 179, fig. 2. 



I consider it very doubtful if the leaves from the Cretaceous of New Jersey, 

 referred by Newberry to this species (loc. cit.), should be so regarded, but there 

 seems to be no room for doubt in regard to our specimens.
