DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES. 51 
These specimens are interesting as showing another plant common to 
the Dakota of the West, the Amboy Clays of New Jersey, and the Patoot 
and Atane beds of Greenland. 
That Mr. Lesquereux’s Glyptostrobus is not identical with F’renelites 
Reichii will be seen by referring to Pl. VIII, which is occupied by this 
species under the name Widdringtonites Reichii (Ett.) Heer. It is rather, 
abundant in the Amboy Clays, and occurs in Greenland and in the Cre- 
taceous beds of Aachen and Niederschoena. The terminal branches are 
covered with minute appressed or divergent, acute, rigid leaves, but the 
larger and lower branches are generally denuded of foliage, and are articu- 
lated at frequent intervals in a way altogether foreign to Glyptostrobus. 
Locality: Near Keyport.

The single specimen here identified with the above species was found 
at Woodbridge. The specimen is named as above by Dr. Newberry, but 
no description accompanied it.—A. H.

Brachyphyllum crassum Lesq., Fl. Dak. Group, p. 32, Pl. U1, fig. 5. 
Thuites crassus Lesq., Cret. and Tert. F1., p. 32. 
Trees of medium or large size, branches pinnately divided, covered with 
relatively large, rhomboidal, striated, scale-like leaves, spirally arranged. 
Fruit a cylindrical cone 15™ to 20°" in length by about 4° in diameter, 
covered with spatulate, overlapping scales. 
In certain clay beds at South Amboy and elsewhere one of the most 
common plants is a sealed conifer, which, judging from the twigs and foli- 
age, no one would hesitate to include in the genus Brachyphyllum. The 
‘Dr. Newberry’s manuscript name for this species is B. macrocarpum, n.sp. It is evidently iden- 
tical with B. crasswm Lesq., as figured in Flor. Dak. Group, Pl. II, fig.5,—A. H.
