68 BERRY: FLORA OF THE MATAWAN FORMATION 
Berry, from this formation, by the comparatively longer more 
rounded pinnules with more numerous secondary veins, nearly all 
of which are forked. The recorded range for this species is from 
the Neocomian to the Senonian, inclusive, in Europe, and from 
the Urgonian to the Cénomanian, inclusive, in this country. 
GYMNOSPERMAE 
GEINITZIA FORMOSA Heer. (PLATE 4, FIGURES 2, 3.) 
Poorly characterized cones of this species were recorded by 
Hollick from this formation in 1897. Collections made during 
the past summer contain three characteristic twigs of this species. 
Leaves are upwards of 12 mm. in length, slender, averaging 1.2 
mm. in width, much recurved; only spreading to about 5 mm, 
from the stem on each side. 
Differs from the material described by Knowlton * from the 
Montana formation in the greater length of the leaves, which are 
also more slender and much more crowded; both have the thick- 
ened stem. Our specimens agree admirably with Newberry’s fig- 
ured specimen from the Raritan, which Knowlton (/. c.) considers 
positively identified. Seguoia Reichenbachi (Gein.) Heer from the 
Matawan formation is much more common, with more slender 
stems and less crowded leaves, which are also shorter and less 
recurved. 
Pinus delicatulus sp. nov. (PLATE I, FIGURE I2.) 
The single specimen shows a large number of linear, pointed, 
apparently flat and ribbed, not terete or thickened, much broken 
and macerated leaves; of which none is apparently perfect. 
Some fragments are 12 mm. long and all are somewhat less than 
I mm. in width, and a midrib is plainly discernible in some of the 
fragments. While the illustration apparently shows needle-like 
leaves, they appear in the clay as of thin and delicate texture. 
While these remains may appertain to the same species as the 
seed described by me from this formation, it has seemed best to 
keep them separate until they are found more nearly associated. 
There is considerable resemblance shown to Fontaine’s Laricopsis 
of the Potomac formation in appearance and in the deciduous 
nature of their leaves.
