The Matawan remains are too small to be definitely referred 

 to Phragmites, and may be compared to those referred to 

 Poacites^ Cyj>e7-ites, etc. 



Chondrites flexuosus Newb. (?) 



Chondrites jlexuosus Newb. Fl. Amboy Clays, 34. ^l. i. 

 f. 7, 4. 1896. 



Obscure remains from near Clifford (not figured), of doubt- 

 ful botanical affinities, may be compared with the above 

 species which occurs at Sayreville, Woodbridge, etc., in the 

 Raritan clays. 



Carpolithus juglandiformis sp. nov. PI. 46./. 8. 



Has a superficial resemblance, but no botanical affinity 

 with some of the fruits referred to the genus Cycadeosfermum. 

 Is evidently not a seed-bearing scale but seems to have been 

 a small nutlet which has been compressed and transformed 

 into lignite ; bears considerable resemblance to Juglans cos- 

 tata (Presl) Brongn. as figured by Lesquereux (Cret. & Tert. 

 Fl. ^l. 3g- f' 5) from the Green River group at Florissant, 

 Colorado. 



Carpolithus Cliffwoodensis sp. nov. PL 48. f. 6. 



This specimen resembles a number of seeds figured by 

 Hear from the Arctic regions, as for instance Lamprocar- 

 ■pites nitidus (Fl. Foss. Arct. 6^ : pi. 8. f. 12-14) ^"^ Car- 

 ■polithes najaditan {ibid, i : pi. 2j. f. /j", /J*^), although with 

 the exception oif. 14 our specimens are about twice the size 

 of any of those of Heer. 



Carpolithus dubius sp. nov. PL 48. f. 7. 



This appears to be a thick, inequilateral, oblong scale. It 

 is about 2 mm. in thickness and the surface is irregularly 

 roughly lined. Botanical affinity vague. 

 Carpolithus Virginiensis Font. (?) PL 48. f. 5.
