In 1872 Schimper referred the Zamites angtistifolitis of Eichwald 

 to the genus Podozamites, overlooking the fact that Schenk, four 

 years earlier, had described and named a Podozamites angtistifoHus, 

 The natural impulse would be to dedicate this to Eichwald but Eich- 

 wald has already had a species ol Podozamites named for him, in 

 consequence of which the above name is proposed in honor of Dr, 

 F, H. Knowlton, of the U. S. National Museum. This species 

 has a wide range both geological and geographical. It is com- 

 mon in the Jurassic of high latitudes in Russia, Siberia, Bornholm, 

 and Spitzbergen, and in the Upper Cretaceous indistinguishable 

 remains are widely distributed in America. The abundant Raritan 

 remains are long-lanceolate, 5-15 cm. in length by 0.6-1.2 cm. in 

 width, the base narrowed to a short petiole, the summit long- 

 pointed and the venation fine. They are similar to the leaflets of 

 Podozamites lanceolatiis but are usually longer, narrower, and more 

 flexuous in outline.

It seems very desirable that at least the leaves which are in- 

 eluded under Newberry's Pi?itis sp. should have a specific name, 

 since pine leaves of this type in fascicles of three occur to the 

 southward in the coastal plain and a definite name is therefore a 

 necessity for purposes of intelligent citation. Whether the poorly 

 preserved cones and winged seeds which occur in the same beds 

 are referable to the same species, it is impossible to determine, 

 and since in the overlying Magothy formation there are two types 

 of leaves of Piniis as well as quite different seeds I have placed a
