SYSTEMATIC DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES. 



Family SCHIZ^ACE^. 



Lygodium Kaulfusii Heer. 



Lygodium KArLFUsii Heer. Newberry, Later Extinct Floras, p. 1, PI. LXII, figs. 1-4, 



1898. 

 Lygodium neuropieroides Lesq., Tert. Fl., p. 61, PI. V, figs. 4-7; PI. VI, fig. 1, 1878; 



Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., Vol. XI, p. 24, 



As it now seems prett}'^ generally agreed that Lesquereux's Zygodmm 

 neuropteroides is the same as Z. Kaulfusii of Heer, all the Oregon 

 material has been so referred. 



The material from Cherry Creek collected by Major Bendire embraces 

 some forty more or less perfect examples." The expedition of the 

 University of California of 1900 obtained four examples of this species 

 at Cherry Creek in a matrix corresponding to that tii'st mentioned 

 above, and a number of additional specimens were obtained by Dr. 

 Merriam and myself at the same place in 1901. 



Locallt;/. — Cherry Creek, Crook County, Oregon. Collected by 

 Maj. Charles E. Bendire (U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 2505), by Merriam's 

 party in 1900 (Mus. Univ. Cal., Nos. 176, 177, 183, 224), and by 

 Knowlton and Merriam in lt)01 (U. S. Nat. Mus., Nos. 9059-90()<J).

There are fragments of several fronds in the collection that should 

 probabl}^ be referred to this species, yet they do not quite agree in all 

 particulars. Thus the example secured by Bendire (U. S. Nat. Mus., 



"As already pointed out (ante p. 13) the material in the United States National Museum under 

 thi.s number appears to consist of two very distinct lots. Only those known to have come from 

 Cherry Creek are here referred to.
