cessfully compared with similar fragments described under 

 several different specific names in the genera Zamites or 

 Podozamites and it may be of interest in this connection to 

 refer to the description and figures of Zamites globulifcrus 

 Heer, from the Kome beds of Greenland (Fl. Foss. Arct. 6 : 

 Abth. 2, 12, pi. 4, Jigs, la, b, 2a, b, 3-7), a geological hori- 

 zon which is lower than that to which we are justified in con- 

 sidering our specimens to belong, although the time interval 

 between them is not sufficient to render identity of species im- 

 probable. Several species, such as Sequoia Reichcnbachi 

 (Gein.) Heer, for example, we know to have a greater verti- 

 cal range than the above would imply.

 Also identified from the Cretaceous of New Jersey (?), 

 Staten Island, Long Island, Block Island (?) and Martha's 

 Vineyard, and apparently identical with the organisms also 

 described by Heer as the fruit of Eucalyptus. (Fl. Foss. 

 Arct. 6: Abth. 2, 93, pi. 4.5, figs. 4-9.) 



I have questioned the occurrence of this species in New 

 Jersey and on Block Island for the reason that the only speci- 

 mens figured from those localities are much smaller than rep- 

 resented by Heer and should properly be referred to D. 

 microlepis Heer (Fl. Foss. Arct. 6: Abth, 2, 55, pi. 4.0, 

 fig. 5), if this is to be maintained as a distinct species.

I was somewhat in doubt whether to consider this speci- 

 men as a small one of Cunninghamitcs elegans, such as 

 figured by Newberry from the Cretaceous of New Jersey (Fl. 

 Amboy Clays, Monog. U. S. Geol. Surv. 26: pi. 5, figs. 6, 

 7), or a large one of Sequoia Reichcnbachi (Gein.) Heer, for 

 example that figured by Velenovsky from the Cretaceous of
