Heer records it from the Patool beds of Greenland. New- 

 berry's specimens are from " near Key port "' and are prob- 

 ably not from the Raritan, however in a table on page 135 he 

 gives as an additional locality South Amboy, which is within 

 the Raritan formation. Hollick (/. c.) records unmistakable 

 remains of this species from the Matawan, but much search 

 has not resulted in my finding it except one specimen which 

 is doubtfully referred to this species (too poor to figure).

 Originally described from the clays at Aachen, Heer found 

 it in the Atane and Patoot beds of Greenland and Disco 

 Island, and Newberry in the Amboy Clays at South Amboy, 

 N. J., where it is common. Heer's forms have the stem 

 naked in a majority of cases ; the branchlets are about 21 mm. 

 long and the widest is 4.5 mm. wide ; one branchlet with the 

 tip missing is still 36 mm, long but only 3 mm. wide. New- 

 berry's Amboy Clay specimens have some of the branchlets 

 long and slender like the Arctic forms, but the majority are 

 shorter and stouter, being 10 to 12 mm. in length by 4 mm. 

 in width, and the stems are more uniformly leaved. Speci- 

 mens from Staten and Block Islands recently reported by 

 Hollick are also small. 



All of my specimens from Cliffwood have the main stem 

 leaved ; my only complete branchlet is 34 mm. long by 9 mm. 

 wide, in fact all of my specimens are nearly, or quite, twice 

 as wide as any of the Amboy Clay or Greenland forms.
