SHORTER COKTRIBUTIONS TO GENERAL GEOLOGY, 191G. 



vided with numerous close, fine, parallel veins 

 ■with cross veinlets. 



The affinity of this plant has not been deter- 

 mined. The leaves with theu' sheathing bases 

 suggest a sedge, but this is hardly more than a 

 suggestion, for they do not agree with the com- 

 bined characters of this group. The plant is 

 evidently a monocotyledon and in general ap- 

 pearance som.ewhat resembles some of the 



leafy-stemnied forms of C^'pripedium or 

 Habenaria, but this resemblance is perhaps 

 hardly more than superficial, and the fact re- 

 mains that the specimen is too fragmentary to 

 pennit complete identification. 



Occurrence: Fruitland formation, 30 miles 

 south of Farmington and 1 mile east of reser- 

 vation line, San Juan County, N. Mex. Lot 

 75 [6956].
