60 FLORA OF THE MONTANA FORMATION. 
like certain material from the true Laramie of the vicinity of Golden, 
Colorado. Moreovor, Lesquereux, in speaking of this species in the 
Tertiary Flora (p. 220), says: 
Golden, Colorado, where the hue large specimen was discovered and communicated 
by Capt. E. Berthoud. A specimen, also, with a number of leaves of the same char- 
acter, has been lately sent by Rev. A. Lakes. 
The "La." of the Princeton slab obviously stands for "Lakes," but 
the remainder of it is quite unintelligible. The single example from 
Golden is in a hard sandstone, but whether this and the Princeton 
specimen are from the same locality can never be known, and therefore 
new lines must be adopted for it. 
In no authenticated instance has this species been reported from a 
younger horizon than the true Laramie, except when what was called 
C. mississippiense has been united to it. The type specimens of this 
latter species are in the museum of the State University at Oxford, 
Mississippi, and not a single example has become the property of the 
National Museum. Lesquereux appears to have been inclined to put 
these two forms together, but in absence of material for comparison I 
have hesitated to do so. Judging from the figures of the two species 
they are close, if not actually identical. 
The collection made by Mr. Stanton at Coalville, Utah, contains 
numerous finely preserved examples of G. affine, of the types shown in 
figs. 1-4 op. cit. They are entirely different from the form separated 
under the name of Ficus.

ClNNAMOMUM ? STANTONI n. Sp. 
PI. XV, fig. 1. 
Leaf elongated, elliptical in outline, narrowed from about the 
middle of the leaf to a wedge-shaped base and in the same manner 
above to an acuminate apex; petiole short, rather slender; midrib thick 
below, becoming slender above, straight; secondaries, four pairs, the 
lowest pair strongest, opposite, arising high above the base at an angle 
of about 45°, camptodrome, running well inside the margin for one- 
third the length of the blade and joining the secondaries next above; 
upper secondaries thin, alternate, also arching inside the margin and 
joining; finer nervation not preserved. 
The leaf figured is the only one observed. It is absolutely perfect 
so far as outline goes, being 5.5 cm. in length, including the petiole, 
which is about 3 mm. long and 2.5 cm. in width. It is elliptical in 
shape and about equally narrowed below to the rather long, wedge- 
shaped base and above to the acuminate apex. 
This leaf is associated with large numbers of very perfectly pre- 
served leaves of Cinnamomum affine, but clearly differs from them in 
shape and nervation.
