Johnson & Gilmore — Occurrence of a Sequoia at Washing Bay. 351 



jS. Couttsiae Heer seems to have suffered a good deal at the hands of 

 investigators. Heer's drawings, supplemented by the photographic ilhistra- 

 tions of C. and E. M. Keid, leave one in no doubt of the general characters 

 of the species. Heer gives a figure {op. cii., fig. 12) of S. Couttsiae showing 

 linear leaves, longer and more divaricate than usual, but he shows in fig. 9 

 the transition to the normal type. He clearly realized the dimorpliism of 

 S. Couttsiae. We have before us material from Bovey (PI. XIV, fig. 11) 

 (Eeid Collection, York Museum), Co. Antrim (Grainger Collection, Belfast 

 Museum) (PI. XIV, fig. 1), Disco (Dublin Museum) (PI. XIV, fig. 12), as well 

 as Baily's type specimen of S. du Noyeri (I. G. Survey) (PI. XIV, fig. 2). 

 We are of opinion that S. Couttsiae Heer was common to Greenland, 

 Ireland, and Devonshire, and that S. du Noyeri Baily and S. Whymperi 

 Gardner should be treated as synonyms.
