804 SYSTEMATIC PALEONTOLOGY 



They are strikingly like the curious genus Androvettia recently 

 described by Hollick and Jeffrey 1 and which these authors refer to the 

 Amucariece, although Moriconia has, on the evidence of the foliage char- 

 acters, been invariably referred to the Cupressinece. The present species 

 is common in the Middendorf beds of South Carolina, and is a character- 

 istic post-Earitan species in the Atlantic Coastal Plain, having been 

 recorded by the writer from numerous localities in the Magothy formation 

 of the northern Coastal Plain, and from the Black Creek formation in 

 North Carolina.

Description. Leaves deciduous, linear or capillary, striated, long and 

 slender, undivided (?) or dichotomously forked. Length 8 cm. to 10 cm. 



These remains occur as closely packed masses, irregular fascicles and 

 isolated fragments, and when unforked or much broken might readily be 

 mistaken for pine leaves. There are not uncommon in the Earitan of 

 Maryland and are clearly identical with the remains described under the 

 foregoing name from the Middle Earitan of New Jersey and Staten Island. 

 No basal portions showing subtending scale-leaves like those of some of 

 the Jurassic species have been found. 



The genus Czekanoivski was founded by Heer 2 in 1876 with Czeka- 

 nowskia setacea from the Middle Jurassic (Bathonian) of Siberia as the
