One of the most common conifers of the Amboy Clays seems to be 
identical with the one that has been described by Velenovsky as Sequoia 
heterophylla, found in the Upper Cretaceous of Bohemia and described in 
Die Gymnospermen der Bohmischen Kreideformation (loc. cit.) A number 
of figures are given of it, and it may be noticed that they show distinctly 
the conspicuous feature of the plant, and that which has given it its name, 
viz, the two forms of foliage, often on the same twig; toward the base the 
leaves very short, appressed, almost scale-like; higher up, leaves much 
longer and dichotomously expanded. 
Norr.—Figs. 4, 4a, Pl. [X, represent cones of a Sequoia, according to Dr. New- 
berry’s labels on the corresponding specimens, but he did not indicate the species to 
which he supposed them to belong.—A. H.

A few branches of a Sequoia with short and divergent leaves resem- 
bling those of Sequoia Reichenbachi, but more slender and delicate, are 
contained in our collections. I have thought it probable that they repre- 
sent this world-wide species, but more material will be required before that 
question can be decided.
