MARYLAND GEOLOGICAL SUEVEY 793 



This conifer which is a common one in the Karitan was referred by 

 Professor Newberry to Juniperus macilenta Heer, although if the two 

 species are to be kept separate, a not altogether certain proposition, it is 

 clearly more closely allied to Juniperus hypnoides, under which Hollick 

 has already placed it (loc. cit., 1907). Professor ISTewberry describes its 

 association at Woodbridge with Dammara scales and was evidently of the 

 opinion that the one was the fruit of the other. Material in the New York 

 Botanical Garden shows this association which is probably, however, 

 purely a mechanical one. The type material came from the Atane beds of 

 Greenland, and additional remains are also abundant in the Karitan of 

 Kreischerville, Staten Island and in the Magothy formation of Marthas 

 Vineyard, New Jersey and Delaware.

 Petrefacten sachsbohm. Kreidegebirges, p. 98, 1842; Bronn. Lethaea geogn., p. 

 577, pi. xxviii, fig. 13, 1846. They are omitted in the present connection since 

 if they are positively identified as this species it would involve changing the 

 name of this widespread and well-known form.
