Description. " Pinnis distantibus, alternis oppositisve, elongatis, basi 

 sensim angustatis, inferioribus lanceolato-linearibus, superioribus elon- 

 gato-ellipticis ; nervis crebris/' Schimper, 1870. 



This species is probably composite since it is hardly possible that a 

 single species should range from the Jurassic into the Upper Cretaceous. 

 However, the remains, which in the Cretaceous are entirely detached 

 leaflets, furnish no characters by means of which they can be differentiated 

 from the Jurassic type. This is also the conclusion reached by Hollick 

 in this country and by Velenovsky in Bohemia. 



Occurrence. RARITAN FORMATION. Shannon Hill, Cecil County.
