CONIFERALES. 85 



genus and species novum which he describes on the previous page 

 of Die Kreide Flora der Artischen Zone. The later specimens 

 from the much younger Atane beds are not surely identical with 

 the older remains, although they are much the same in general 

 appearance. They appear to depart somewhat from a cyclic 

 phyllotaxy toward a spiral arrangement and the leaves are more 

 spreading and less appressed. The Raritan occurrence oi this 

 species is based upon a single specimen from an unknown New 

 Jersey locality and no additional remains have ever been dis- 

 covered either in New Jersey or in more or less synchronous 

 horizons elsewhere. While this specimen presents no evident 

 differences when compared with Heer's figures of this species, it 

 is very doubtfully related to the original material from the Kome 

 beds.
