DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES. 45 
species, if not identical, are exceedingly alike, and that the differences 
specified are not sufficient to separate them. 
Locality: Woodbridge. 
Popozamires acuminatus Hollick n. sp. 
lel XO, aa "1G 
The only specimen we have of this plant is too imperfect for a satis- 
factory description. It is a leaf of a species of Podozamites which had 
as characteristic features widely separated, open nervation and extremely 
long-drawn point. This will serve to distinguish it from any of the leaves 
of Podozamites with which it is associated and any other yet described. 
Locality: Woodbridge. 
Nores.—1. In Dr. Newberry’s manuscript this species was named Podozamites 
acutifolius. As Professor Fontaine had already used this specific name for a species 
from the Potomac formation, it was necessary to change it, and it was thought that 
acuminatus would describe the leading character nearly as well. 
2. In Dr. Newberry’s paper on the Flora of the Amboy Clays, in the Bulletin of 
the Torrey Botanical Club for March, 1886 (Vol. XIII, p. 35), the author says that 
Podozamites tenuinervis Heer probably occurs in the flora, but | have failed to find 
any indication that he definitely identified any specimen with that species.—A. H.

We have found quite a large number of slender fruit spikes, twenty or 
more, sometimes as much as 15° in length by about 2™ in diameter, com- 
posed of a central axis thickly set with capsules, of which the ends give a 
tessellated appearance to the surface when sufficiently well preserved to 
show it. These apparently represent the fruit spikes that were described 
with the above name by Corda, in Reuss (loc. cit.), and more fully noticed 
by Velenovsky in Die Gymnospermen der Bohm. Kreideformation, prove 
Ill, figs. 5-16; Pl. IV, fig. 6; Pl. V, fig. 8.
