of Greenland, but our specimen is more open in its habit than 
are these. So far as 1am aware no one of these species has 
yet been found in the New Jersey clays. The specimen 
figured was collected by Mr. Wm. T. Davis at Kreischerville. 
Pinus, sp? 
Pl. I. f. 13, 19,20, 22. 
This genus is represented by leaves scattered plentifully 
through the clays at Kreischerville, wherever remains of vege- 
tation are found, and by a broken fragment of a large cone and 
asingle scale, the former from a concretion found at Arrochar, 
the latter from ferruginous sandstone at Tottenville. Until 
such time as better material for study is available I have 
thought it best to group all these remains together, although it 
is probable that the leaves and cone represent distinct species, 
as the flora of the clay and that of the concretions and sand- 
stone are in general distinct one from the other.

describes and figures organisms under this name similar to the 
one here shown. In the same volume, Pl. XLV. f. 4-11, organ- 
isms referred to Fucalyptus Geinilzi are depicted. So far as the 
figures are concerned they all seem to be very closely allied. Our 
specimen is too poor for definite comparison, but the fact that 
thus far the abundant presence of undoubted coniferous trees in 
Cretaceous times, particularly in the clays of Staten Island and 
New Jersey is proven, while the presence of the genus Eucalyptus 
is highly problematic, has decided mein placing our specimen 
under Dammara, but whether or not this latter is the genus to 
which these organisms will ultimately be referred need ‘not here 
be discussed. 
Locality : Tottenville, in a concretion. 
{In this connection the presence of amber in greater or less abundance 
might be mentioned, but this could be derived from either Conifers or 
Eucalypts, so that its occurrence is of secondary interest only. |
