These specimens embrace, in addition to fragments of Cyperacites 
haydenii, as already discussed, one fragment of a Cyperacites of unknown 
species, which must be referred provisionally to the group embraced in 
ae etc. In addition there are a large number of fragments of seeds 
and leaves of an undeterminable character, but which may belong here.

Two fragments of small stems or leaves, a few cm. long by a few 
mm. wide. There is no evidence whatever of structure, and it is impos- 
sible to satisfactorily correlate them with any known forms.

Fe of 1903 FERN STIPES. 
A single specimen, representing a portion of a branching stem which 
exhibits no detailed structural features, but has all the external aspects 
of a portion of a fern stipe bearing the basal portion of the rachis of 
ene of the pinnæ. As such, the specimen has no stratigraphical value, 
since the species or genus cannot be determined; but it is highly prob- 
able that it is identical with a

Under this number are included isolated specimens about 1 cm. 
long by 0.5 cm. wide, evidently the remains of a fruit of some sort. 
A careful inspection shows it to be made up of a series of closely 
packed scales which make it an oblong cone closely comparable with the 
cone of Betula, to which it is provisionally referred.

Among the collections of 1903 were two fragments of calcified 
wood, both of which represent the same species. The larger specimen 
was a fragment of a good sized but flattened branch, measuring about 
10 cm. in length, 9 em. in breadth and 2.8 cm. in thickness. The 
structure was well preserved and admitted of determination without 
much difficulty, although decay and alteration by crushing had obliter- 
ated and destroyed some of the structural features. There was no 
difficulty in recognizing the wood as representative of a hard pine, but
