CUNNINGHAMITES ELEGANS (Corda.) Endl. 



(PI. xi. fig. 2.) 



Cunninghamites elegans (Corda) Endl., Newb. FI. Amboy 

 Clays, 48, pi. v. figs. 1-7. 



Cunninghamites elegans Endl. Synop. Conif. 270. 



Cunninghamites elegans Corda, in Reuss, Verstein. Boehm. 

 Kreidef., Abth. II. 93, pi. xlix. figs. 29-31. 



This is undoubtedly the above species and identical with that 

 figured by Dr. Newberry from this locality in the Flora of the 

 Amboy clays. 



Cunninghamites squamosus Heer. 

 (PI. xi. fig. 3.) 



Cunninghamites squamosus Heer, Beitr. Kreide-Fl. Quedlin- 

 burg, 9, pi. i. figs. 5-7. 



I was at first inclined to place this specimen with the preced- 

 ing species, but the leaves are evidently shorter and there seems 

 to be no doubt that it is identical with Heer's species described 

 and figured as above. 



Geinitzia FORMOSA Heer. 

 (PI. xii. figs. 1, 2.) 



Geinitzia formosa Heer, Beitr. Kreide-Fl. Quedlinburg, 6, pi. 

 i. figs. 9, 10; ii. figs. 1-6. 



The two cones now figured are so encrusted with pyrite as to 

 be difficult of exact determination, but there seems to be no 

 doubt of their identity with the cones described and figured by 

 Heer under the above name. As previously noted, Dr. Newberry 

 mentions the occurrence of Geinitzia cones at this localit}^ but 

 in the Flora of the Amboy clays he apparently changes his 

 opinion and describes them under Sequoia gracillima (Lesq.) 

 Newb. {I. c. 50, pi. ix., figs. 1-3). Whether these are figures 

 of the ones first seen by him, however, I am unable to say. His 

 figures certainly represent Sequoia cones and are diff"erent from 

 ours. Thus far I have failed to find foliage of S. gracillima in 

 connection with either Dr. Newberry's specimens or with those 

 personally collected.
