14(5 MESOZOIC FLORAS OF INrrKD STATES. 



by Mr. H. D. Dumars 80 niilos east of Cape Lislnu'iie in 1890 and was 

 donated to the National Museum by Mr. A. G. Maddren, of Seattle, 

 \\'a.sh. It was taken from the Convin coal mine. The rock is similar 

 to that of the Woolfe collection and some of the species are the same, 

 but there are others and very different ones. The specimens have a 

 decidedly Lower Cretaceous, or even Jurassic, facies. 



On December 15, 1900, Dr. T. W. Stanton turned over to me a 

 specimen containing a well-marked impression, with its counterpart, of 

 a leaf which was collected by Mr. A. C. Spencer in August of that year 

 on Nikolai Creek near Nikolai, in the Copper River region of Alaska, 

 in strata supposed to l)e Cretaceous or Jm-assic. 



In February, 1901, Doctor Stanton placed in my hands a small 

 collection of fossil plants collected by Mr. Diller's party the previous 

 season in Curry County, Oreg., at a locality in the Port Orford cjuad- 

 rangle, and labeled by Mr. Diller Jurassic or Lower Cretaceous. 



In March of the same year Doctor Stanton referred to me a speci- 

 men collected by Mr. Ernest G. Locke, of Seattle, on Herendeen Bay, 

 Alaska, labeled as coming from the "coal measures" of that region. 

 The specimen showed the im^^ression of a cycadaceous leaf. 



Another collection from Alaska made in 1901 by Mr. F. C. Schrader 

 was sent me by Doctor Stanton on November 25 of that year. The 

 following is the list with field numbers attached. The trunk of a tree 

 numbered A at the end of the list was not sent to Professor Fontaine. 

 The label states that it was "collected by Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Holland 

 in 1901 in Iliamna oil region, Iliamna Bay, Cook Inlet, Alaska; appar- 

 ently Mesozoic." It is probably coniferous, and has a warty exterior 

 as if the bark was partially preserved." 



List of localities of fossil plants collected by F. C. Schrader durinej the season of lOUl 

 along the one hundred and, fifty-second meridian north of Arctic Circle and on the 

 Arctic coeist of Alaslca.

" .\f ter Professor Fontaine had sent in lu-s report on this collection, I gave the names of tlu^ t liree species found 

 in it to Mr. Schrader, and he pvililishcd them in his paper entitled Geological section of the Rocky Mountains in 

 northern Alaska: Bull. Geol. Soc. .\merica, Vol. XIII, 1902, p. 24.5.
