At locality Xo. 7 an a]>j)areii1 cone scal(» of Araucai'ites was found 

 in a single specimen. It is quite convex, appearing hai'd and rigid, 

 and was apparently quite thick. It is cuneate in form, expanding into 

 a broad thick summit, the extreme tip being hidden. Toward the 

 opposite end it narrows consideraljly, and at the end shows traces of 

 former union with the axis of the cone. Its width at tlK> summit is 18 

 mm. and its length 25 mm.

.At several of the Oregon localities there are a numV^er of long Pinus- 

 like leaves that are always detached. They never appear in such numbers 

 as the leaves of TaxitcH zamioides, but are moi-e scattered. They agi'ee 

 well with the larger forms attributed by Heer to Pinus Nordenskioldi. 

 Some of them, however, are a good deal larger than any given by Heer. 

 These larger forms can not be separated from certain smaller ones found 

 in the Oregon flora, which agree very well in size with the largest of Heer. 

 These leaves are pretty siu-ely those of a Pinus and not of a Taxites. 

 The}' narrow graduall)' to subacute tips and do not narrow to the base. 

 In one case a fragment of the sheath may be seen attached to the base of a 

 leaf, and two other leaves lie near this, as if they had once all belonged to 

 the same bundle. There is a considerable variation in the size of the leaves. 

 The largest leaves, none of which were seen entire, have a length of 115 mm.
