 Lll.f. 4, 5, under the name Widdritiglomtes Reichii Ett. sj). In 

 our material the specimens are but little better than bundles of 

 slender branches, consisting of lignite, which cracks and breaks 

 upon exposure to the air, so that accurate portrayal of the speci- 

 mens is almost impossible. The one represented was collected 

 in the clays at Kreischerville. This same species has been 

 identified by Prof. J. S. Newberry from the clays of Wood- 

 bridge, South Amboy, and Sayreville, N. J. 



Sequoia heterophylla, Vel. 



PI. I. f. 21. 



The above determination is' founded upon a single fragment 

 from the Kreischerville clay, which, although fairly well 

 preserved, would be hardly sufficient to justify a positive 

 determination did w^e not have an abundance of the same 

 species with which to compare it from the clays of New Jersey, 

 where it is one of the most common of the conifers. It is 

 described and figured [in Velenovskv's Gymnospermen der 

 Bcemischen Kreideformation, 22, PI. XII. f. 12 and PI. XIII. 

 f .2-4 and 6-9. 



Sequoia Reichenbachi, Gein ? 



PI. I. f. 18. 



It is with some hesitation that I have referred this specimen 

 to the above species. It has been identified by Dr. Newberrj" 

 from the Woodbridge N. J., clays, but our specimens are merely 

 represented by imperfect impressions in hard ferruginous con- 

 cretions and are not satisfactory for determination. The one 

 figured was found in a concretion on the shore at Tottenville. 



Sequoia Couttsli:, Heer. 



Pl.I.f.5. 



There can be but little doubt that our specimen is the same 

 Bpecies as described and figured by Heer, in his Flor. Foss. Arct. 

 I. 94, PI. XLV. f. 19a., 19b. from'the Tertiary of Greenland I 

 was at first inclined to compare it with ;S'. coneinna or S.fadigiala, 

 both of which hare been found in the Cretaceous (Patoot) beds
