DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES— CARPITES. 305 



C a I' p i t c s 1j' t a li e n s i s , sp. uov. 

 Plate LS, Fig 22. 



Fruit small, broadly obovate, cordate or eniargiuate at one end, rounded 

 to a short point at the other, smooth, bearing remains of a thin epicarp. It 

 is one centimeter long, and seven millimeters broad toward the point. 



Habitat. — Evanston, Wyoming. 



C a I* p i t e s verrucosus, sp. nov. 

 Plate LX, Fig. 20. 



Fruit nearly round, one centimeter across, emarginate in the lower part 

 at its point of attachment to a short broken pedicel; surface flat, covered with 

 small obtuse warts. This seed is like the flattened drupe of a Magnolia. In 

 the living M. grandijiora, the base of the seed is cut or emarginate as in this 

 one, and generally has its short pedicel attached to it. This seed is sur- 

 rounded by a flat margin, which may be the borders of a flattened pericarp. 



Habitat. — Black Buttes, Wyoming, Saurian bed ; represented by three 

 specimens. 



Carpitcs niinutulus, sp. uov. 



Plato LX, Fig. ^5. 



Seeds very small, three millimeters long, only half as broad, inflated and 

 rounded at one end, gradually narrowed to a short acumen, smooth. It 

 resembles by its size and form C. Iceviusculus, Heer (Fl. Spitz., pi. xv, tig. 47). 

 It is mixed with fragments of stems and branches which appear to belong 

 to some Conifers, but crushed and unidentitiable. 



Habitat. — South Table Mountain, near Golden, Colorado. 



C a r p i t e s V i b u r n i , sp. nov. 



Plate LX, Figs. 26. 26 o. 



Fruit small, ovoid, obtuse, short-pediceled, six to seven millimeters in 

 diameter, covered with a thin, flattened pericarp. It is apparently a seed of 

 Viburnu?n, like some of those of fig. 2 of tlie same plate. It is, however, 

 from a ditferent locality. 



Habitat. — Black Buttes, Wyoming, where leaves of Viburnum species 

 are very abundant.
