ENUMERATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIES OF 



FOSSIL PLANTS KNO\VN FROM THE GREEN 



RIVER GROUP. 



CRYPTOGAMS. 



FUNGI. 



Spliaerla niyricse, Lesqx. 



"U. S. Geol. Rep.," vii, p. 34, pi. ii, fig. 4. 



CHARACEtE. 



CHARA, Waill. 

 Cliara? glomerata, sp. nov. 

 Plate XXI, Fig. 12. 

 Leaves sbort, in compact, dense, distant or terminal capitnles; stem narrow. 

 These fragments are not positively referable to Chara on account of 

 the compactness and shortness of the leaves. The branches bearing the 

 capitules are smooth, flexuous, the leaves 1 apparently subcylindrical, 

 acute. They may represent flower-bearing pedicels of Platanus like F. 

 racemosa, Nutt. They, however, can scarcely be considered as such, for 

 not the least fragment of Platanus leaves has been found as yet in the 

 Green River Group.

MUSCI. 



FONTINALIS, Linn. 

 Fontinalis pristina, sp. nov. 

 Plate XXI, Fig. 9. 

 Leaves obscurely two-ranked, crowded, linear-lanceolate, acuminate, ecostate. 

 The leaves are close, gradually enlarged toward the embracing base, 

 about one centimeter long, very narrow.

ranch is the same.
