its leaves only; the other, P. geniculatus, Al. Br., being known through 
both fruit and leaves. There is, therefore, no substantial reason for 
questioning the character of the fruits as described in the present 
instance.

a of 1905, ULMUs, sp. 
An undeterminable species of elm, represented by a fragment of 
a leaf, showing nothing but venation, and probably referable to one 
of the woods of the same genus described.

> 0f1905. BETULA, sp. 
This specimen embraces three fruit bodies, two of which are but 
imperfectly represented, while the third shows a perfect, oval form, 
4x8 mm., with well defined scales. It is a small cone, representing 
the fruit of Betula, possibly the same as 2 On the same slab are 
care 
various fragments of stems, more or less carbonized. These are several 
centimetres long and upwards of more than a centimetre in width. 
Their character cannot be determined, but they apparently represent 
small branches of some woody oxygen, possibly of Betula itself. 
eof 1905. TAXODIUM DISTICHUM. 
The only representative of this genus is to be found in a portion 
of the male inflorescence, about 4.7 cm. long. The central axis is 
rather stout and it bears several well-defined inflorescences, together 
with one or two which are detached. These latter show the character- 
istic features of the male flowers of Taxodium, as already recognized 
by Knowlton (34), in specimens derived from the Mascall Beds of the 
John Day Basin (U. Miocene) of Colorado. | 
CRETACEOUS. 
LEAVES OF ENDOGENS. 
The only specimen under number 1433 showed on one side, two 
small fragments of leaves which, from their obviously parallel venation, 
are to be regarded as belonging to some endogenous plant, the nature 
of which could not be determined.
