The single broken leaf upon which Lesquereux based its presence at Cherry Creek remains unique. It is described and discussed at length in the paper above quoted.

Locality.—Cherry Creek, Crook County, Oregon. Collected by Maj. Charles E. Bendire (U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 2479).

As the original figure of this species is so poorly and even incorrectly drawn, I give another of the type specimen. As may be seen, Lesquereux's figure shows a curious prolongation on one side, but this has been greatly exaggerated. The specimen is a little broader on one side, but not to such an extent as might be inferred from the figure. The recent collections from the same locality contain a fine, nearly perfect example of this species, which shows it to be nearly equilateral.

Locality.—Van Horn's ranch, South Fork of John Day River, about 12 miles west of Mount Vernon, Grant County, Oregon. Collected by Maj. Charles E. Bendire (U. S. Nat. Mus., Nos. 2475, 8543) and Dr. John C. Merriam (Mus. Univ. Cal., No. 884).

ARTOCARPUS CALIFORNICA ? Knowlton.

Myrica (Aralia) Lessigii? Lesq., idem., p. 16, 1888.

The collections made by Bendire contained three specimens that were referred by Lesquereux as above indicated. They are all very fragmentary and can not be made out with satisfaction, yet it is reasonably certain that only one species is represented, and in all probability they are the same as my Artocarpus californica. It was hoped that late collections from these beds might contain specimens that would clear up this question, but unfortunately they do not, and it must remain open to revision.

Artocarpus californica differs from A. Lessigiana (Lesq.), Knowlton, in its smaller size, thinner texture, and shorter, more acute lobes.

Locality.—Van Horn's ranch, about 12 miles west of Mount Vernon, Giant County, Oregon. Collected by Maj. Charles E. Bendire (U. S. Nat. Mus., Nos. 2428, 2522.)
