DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES. 61 
we have but a single specimen of our plant, and the one described by Heer 
seems to have been unique, satisfactory comparison can not yet be made. 
The resemblances are such, however, between the Greenland plant and our 
own that it has seemed better to consider them identical until such time as 
differences shall be discovered.

CZEKANOWSKIA CAPILLARIS Newb. n. sp. 
Pl. IX, figs. 14, 15, 16. 
With some hesitation I have referred to this genus a considerable 
number of specimens that have been taken from the Amboy Clays. They 
consist of bundles or masses of linear or capillary leaves, 8°" to 10°™ in 
length, which are for the most part single, but sometimes dichotomously 
forked. They exhibit no structure, but apparently spring from a common 
root or origin, and have the aspect of the bundles of leaves which have 
been described by Heer under the name of Czekanowskia dichotoma (Fl. 
Hoss oct. Vol. VL Abin Tp l4, PEL fie 12b;° Pl. I fig. 1). As 
forming a distinct element in the Amboy Clay flora, it seems to me proper 
that they should be mentioned, that hereafter they may receive such atten- 
tion as may determine their botanical relations. The leaves are thin and 
if matted and confused together might be taken for a Contervites, but they 
are straight or gently curved, single, and parallel, and have nothing of the 
filamentous, irregular character of the fibers of Conferva.

Coniferz. Miscellaneous Notes. 
1. In Dr. Newberry’s Later Extinct Floras (Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist., Vol. 
IX, 1868, p. 9), the name Cupressites Cookii occurs, credited to New Jersey. 
I do not find, however, that he elsewhere mentions this species, nor have I 
been able to discover any specimen so labeled in the collection. 
2. On Pl. IX, fig. 10, of this monograph, may be seen a branch of a 
conifer with a cone attached. I could find no manuscript relating to it, 
the specimen had no label attached, and no satisfactory comparison could 
be made with any described species. Its affinities appear to be with the
