Poadtes? HoUick, Bull. Torrey Bot. Club, vol. 21, 1894, p. 63, pi. 180, figs. 2, 12; BuU. New York Hot. Gard., 

 vol. 3, 1904, p. 411, pi. 73, fig. 1. 



The fragments of linear, finely parallel-veined leaves, represented in our fig- 

 ures, are referred to the genus Poadtes for the reason that most authorities, in 

 describing similar remains from Cretaceous and Tertiary horizons, have included 

 them under that generic name." Any attempt at specific identification, however, 

 wovild manifestly not be advisable.

 Oyperites ? Hollick, Bull. Torrey Bot. Cluh, vol. 21, 1894, p. 63, pi. 180, fig. 3. 



These remains are apparently generically identical with numerous similar ones 

 which have been described as species of Cyperacites or Oyperites from both Cretaceous 

 and Tertiary horizons,'' but satisfactory specific identification of our specimens is 

 not possible.

Majanthemophyi^lum pusillum Heer. 



PI. VI, fig. 12. 



MajanthemophyUum pusittum Heer, Fl. Foss. Ai-ct., vol. 7, 1883, p. 18, pi. 55, figs. 17, 17b; HoUick, Trans. New 

 York Aoad. Sci., vol. 12, 1892, p. 36, pi. 1, fig. 7. 



This specimen is retained in the systematic position in which it was originaUy 

 included, not because of any conviction that this is correct, but largely to avoid 

 change and possible confusion. It is apparently a fragmentary monocotyledonous 

 leaf, very simUar to Heer's species.
