The History, Comparative Anatomy and Evolution of the 

 Araucarioxylon Type. Parts I-IV 



This is a series of four papers, well illustrated with heliotype 

 plates, giving the results of the author's investigations and a gen- 

 eral discussion of the characters of araucarian woods belonging 

 to both living and extinct species, with their significance when 

 viewed from the standpoint of evolution. 



Specimens collected in the Cretaceous clays of Kreischerville 

 are discussed, and enlarged sections of Araucarioxylon nove- 

 bora cense Hollick & Jeffrey, collected in that locality, are shown 

 on plate 2, figs, a-d; 4, figs, e and /; 5, figs, a and b; 8, figs. 

 a and d. 



Local references may also be found to the genera Araucario- 

 pitys and Brachyoxylon in connection with the work of Hollick 

 and Jeffrey on Studies of Cretaceous Coniferous Remains from 

 Kreischerville, New York (Mem. New York Bot. Card. 3). Ap- 

 parently the material collected at Kreischerville may be utilized 

 to an almost unlimited extent in critical studies of the Cretaceous 

 flora, inasmuch as a dozen or more contributions, by English and 

 Japanese, as well as by American paleobotanists, have been based 

 upon it, and yet only a limited amount has thus far been sub- 

 jected to careful examination and study.
