occurs in the New Jersey Raritan (localities not given) ; on 

 Staten Island ; and in the Atane and Patoot beds of Green- 

 land. The genus was founded by Saporta & Marion* and 

 embraces several European species of which Dewalquea m- 

 signis reappears in both the Atane and Patoot beds of Green- 

 land, and on Staten Island ; while D. Haldemiana reappears 

 in the Patoot beds, in Utah, and on Staten Island. The 

 Dakota group furnishes two additional species.

Similar remains are common in the Raritan (three species). 

 Hollick (Bull. Torrey Club, 21 : 62. pi. 180. f. 4) records a 

 fragment from Glen Cove, Long Island, and also from Chap- 

 paquidick Island, Mass. (Bull. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 2 : 401. pi. 

 41./. 8, p. 1902). 



The genus was founded by Fr. Braun, in Miinster, Beitr. 

 Petrefacten-Kunde (Heft. 6. 28. 1843) and is chiefly Upper 

 Triassic (Rhetic) and Jurassic, becoming decadent in the 

 Cretaceous. The latter has yielded, however, seventeen 

 species on this continent (including Greenland), nine of which 

 existed as late as the mid-Cretaceous, all described from 

 rather fragmentary and somewhat doubtful leaf-remains. 



Our specimens would appear to be fragments of Podozam- 

 ites tnarginatiis? Heer, which occurs at Woodbridge in the 

 Raritan clays (Fl. Amboy Clays, 44. pi. 13. f. j. 6); 

 originally described by Heer from Atane, Greenland. 



Phragmites (?) ClifFwoodensis sp. nov. PI. 46./. 5. 



A terminal, sharply pointed fragment of a monocotyle- 

 donous leaf, 12 cm. long and 5.5 mm. broad, finely parallel- 

 veined. 



The remains of Phragmites usually consists of leaf frag- 

 ments or rhizomes, all of rather doubtful affinity, although a 

 single palet of P. Oeningensis A. Br. is described by Heer 

 from Greenland.
