The original identification of this specimen as Rhamnus Rossmassleri Ung., a 

 Tertiary species, was undoubtedly erroneous, and it is certain that it is identical 

 generically with leaves which have been referred to Myrsine or Myrsinites and 

 apparently to this species.

Diospyros primseva Heer, Nouv. Mem. Soc. Helv. Sci. Nat., vol. 22, no. 1 (Phyl. Cret. Nebr.), 1867, p. 19, 

 pi. 1, figs. 6, 7; Pollard, Trans. New York Acad. Sci., vol. 13, 1894, p. 180; Newberry, Mon. U. S. Geol. 

 Survey, vol. 26 (Fl. Amboy Clays), 1895 (1896), p. 124, pi. 30, figs. 1-5; Berry, Bull. Torrey Bot. Club, 

 vol. 32, 1905, p. 46, pi. 2, fig. 2. 



A considerable number of diverse forms have been included by Heer under 

 this species/ in addition to which a number of others were subsequently referred 

 to the species by Lesquereux 6 and Newberry (loc. cit.). For this reason I have 

 also decided to include the doubtful fragmentary specimen represented by our fig. 11.

Diospyros apiculata Lesquereux? 



PI. XL, figs. 4-6. 



Diospyros apiculata Lesq., Mon. U. S. Geol. Survey, vol. 17 (Fl. Dak. Gr.), 1892, p. 110, pi. 14, fig. 3; Hollick,

 RJiamnus pfaffiana Heer, Hollick, Trans. New York Acad. Sci., vol. 11, 1892, pi. 4, fig. 3. 



These leaves have the nervation of Diospyros and the general form of this species, 

 but unfortunately, in each specimen the characteristic apex is lacking, so that posi- 

 tive identification is not possible.
