168 Berry: Mesozoic flora of the coastal plain 



Hollick (Bull. N. Y. Bot. Gard. 3 : 411. 1904) has reached 

 the same conclusion, or at least suggested the same origin, for 

 Frenelopsis Hohcneggeri, and the evidence seems probable enough 

 in the case of my specimens. The Frenelopsis predominates at 

 Deep Cut, Delaware, and the Widdringtonitis predominates at 

 Grove Point, Maryland. The Portuguese representative is Frenel- 

 opsis leptoclada Sap. 



Br-achyphyllum macrocarpum Newb. Fl. Amboy Clays 5 1 (foot- 



note). 1896. 



Plate 9. 



Magnificent specimens of this species occur in the pits of the 

 Cliffvvood Brick Co., N. J., and at Deep Cut, Del. They are 

 especially common at the latter locality. 



Hollick and Jeffrey, from a study of the wood, recently an- 

 nounced the probable affinity of this species with the Araueariineae, 

 and the publication of their investigation will be looked forward to 

 with a great deal of interest. 



Juniperus hypnoides Heer, Fl. Foss. Arct 6 2 : 47. pi. 44. f. 3 ; pi. 

 46./. 18. 1882. 



In washing out and picking over the lignite masses from the 

 pits of the Clififwood- Brick Company, at which point the lignite 

 consists of an assortment of leaves, sticks, seeds, and scales, not 

 greatly macerated and but slightly solidified, among an abundant 

 display of the twigs of Sequoia Reichenbachii (Gein.) Heer, were 

 found perhaps a dozen fragments of twigs of a very graceful and 

 delicate conifer which I refer to Juniperus hypnoides Heer. 



I was at first disposed to refer these specimens to Sequoia gra- 

 cillima (Lesq.) Newb., but further consideration has convinced me 

 that they are identical with the twigs which Heer refers to Juni- 

 perus. Newberry refers somewhat similar remains, from the Rari- 

 tan formation at Woodbridge, N. J., to Juniperus macilenta Heer. 

 The figure which he gives is not very distinct and all that can be 

 made out from it is that it represents a short-leaved graceful coni- 

 fer. The Clififwood material is certainly distinct from the type 

 material of Juniperus macilenta Heer, which has more open and 

 much less robust leaves than J. hypnoides. Also very common 

 in the sandy clays at the Deep Cut of the C. & D. canal, Delaware.
