and Tert. Fl., p. 30. 



This species is apparently identical with Abietites curvifoUus Dunk., 

 Pilanzen aus dem Quadersandstein von Blaukenburg, Palaeontogr.,vol. iv, p. 

 180, PI. XXXIII, Fig. 1. 



Braohyphyllum crassum, sp. nov. 

 PI. II, Fig. 5, 



Thuites crassus Lesq , Cret. and Tert. FL, p. 32. 



Branches robust, irregularly pinuately ramose and ramulose ; branch- 

 lets oblique, either parallel and of the same size or variable in form, length, 

 and position ; cylindrical, obtuse ; leaves very close, imbricating, enlarged 

 at base, rhomboidal, thick, coriaceous, inflated or glandulose at the apex. 



The specimen represents an impi-ession exactly copied, where the lower 

 part of the imbricated leaves remain, of course covered and invisible. 

 This species is comparable to B. Moreauanum Brongn., as represented in 

 Saporta's Plantes Jimissiques,^ differing essentially in the leaves being more 

 efpial and more distinctly rhomboidally inflated at the apex. 



Habitat: Salina, Kansas. No. 345 of the Museum of Comparative 

 Zoology of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
