FLORA OF THE SHASTA FORMATION. 263 



having Ijeen several nerves. There was, however, only one nerve. Most 

 of the impressions of leaves are unusually wide for fossil leaves of Pinus, 

 being not uncommonly 2 mm. wide. 



PL LXIX, Fig. 1, represents a portion of a somewhat flattened stem, 

 with the projections mentioned before. Fig. 2 depicts a portion of a 

 stem that was larger than that given in Fig. 1. This fragment shows 

 more or less rounded pits, corresponding to the projections of Fig. 1. It 

 also has some fragments of leaves in the position they had when attached 

 to the stem. Fig. 3 represents a fragment of another stout stem. It 

 shows the basal portions of a number of leaves radiating from the stem, 

 some of them being attached to it.

« I omit from the synonymy of this species the Conites familiaris Sternb, a Cenomanian cone from Bohemia, 

 the Bergeria minuta Presl, which is perhaps not the same as the Cunninghamites Sternhergii Ett., but probably 

 belongs to Sequoia, and the Sedites? RabenTiorsiii Gein., a twig of doubtful affinity, all of which have been 

 referred by different authors to Sequoia Reichenbachi, but none of which certainly belong there, and the 

 names of which all antedate the Araucarites Reichenbachi of Geinitz, so that their positive acceptance would 

 involve a change in the name of this well-known species. Such a change should be made only upon a cer- 

 tainty.— L. F. W.
