Cycadoidea, merely on the ground of euphony, which of course 
can not be sanctioned under recently adopted rules of nomencla- 
ture, hence Buckland’s original name; Cycadeoidea, is used by the 
author, and under it he includes the genera Mantellia, Cycadites, 
Zamites, Eucephlartos, Clathropodium, Strobilites, Echinostoipes, Ben- 
nettites, Bolbopodium, Raumeria, Clathraria, Tysonia, Cycas, Zam- 
tostrobus, etc., either entire or in part. In the author’s words, 
“This genus seems to be the ultimate destiny of all cycadean 
trunks of dwarf bulb-like or conical form, deciduous leaf stalks and 
thombic leaf scars.” A. H. 
Annotated List of the Fossil Plants of the Bozeman, Montana, Coal 
Field, with Table of Distribution and Description of Species. 
F. H. Knowlton. (Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv. No. 105, pp. 
43-63, Pl. V., VL) ; 
This list contains forty-five species, of which the following are 
described as new: Z, hinnfeldia lanceolata, Populus? problematica, 
Litsea Weediana, and Cinnamomum ellipticum—the latter previously 
identified by Lesquereux with C. polymorphum Al. Br. Speci- 
mens doubtfully referred to Eguisetum and Nelumbo are also in- 
cluded and Quercus Paelet, Lesq., is reduced to identify with 
Q. Ellisiana, Lesq. From an analysis of the table of distribution 
the fact is adduced ‘that the flora finds its nearest allies in the 
Denver beds of Colorado and from the stratigraphic relations of 
the rocks they appear to represent a horizon between the Lara- 
mie and the Fort Union beds. ACH,
