BERRY: MESOZOIC FLORA OF ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN 173 
This species (FIGS. I-5) was described by Heer from the 
Patoot beds of Greenland and has subsequently been recorded 
from the Raritan and Magothy formations of the United States 
and from the Emscherian of Italy. The foliage is distinguished 
with difficulty from that of Sequoia fastigiata (Sternberg) Heer, 
Sequoia ambigua Heer, and various other species. In the absence 
of well preserved cones it is doubtful if the species can be deter- 
mined. Similar foliage from the Tuscaloosa formation of western 
Alabama I have referred to Sequoia fastigiata. The reference of 
the Bingen sand material to S. concinna rather than to the latter 
species is due to the presence of cones associated with the twigs in 
the latter formation. 
OccuRRENCE: Big Railroad Cut, one mile southwest of Max- 
well Spur, Pike County.

This species was described from the Atane beds of Greenland 
by Heer in 1874. His material was, however, extremely limited. 
Subsequently it was found in considerable abundance in the 
Raritan formation of New Jersey, and still more recently Hollick 
recorded it from Marthas Vineyard and Block Island (Magothy 
formation). It may be questioned if some of the coniferous 
material described by Velenovsky from the Bohemian Cretaceous 
under other names should not be compared with the present form. 
It is even more slender than Widdringtonites Reichii, with much 
shorter twigs, which have the appearance of having been somewhat 
lax in habit. The leaves are usually more elongated, close set, 
and appressed, narrowly lanceolate, straight and scalelike; they 
are said by Heer to be somewhat spread and falcate proximad. 
Remains of this latter sort occur in the Tuscaloosa formation of 
Alabama where they bear characteristic valvate cones like those 
of the existing Widdringtonia. 
This species has not yet beén discovered in ie Woodbine sand
