The Affinities of Geinitzia gracillima^^ 



This is the third article of recent date, by the same author, 

 which refers either directly or indirectly to fossil plants from 

 the Cretaceous deposits of Staten Island. In this paper the 

 material described and discussed was collected on the adjacent 

 shores of New Jersey, in the vicinity of Cliffwood, but the 

 Kreischerville material is incidentally mentioned. The author 

 shows that the so-called Sequoia gracUUma (Lesq.) Newb. is not 

 a Sequoia, but that it belongs in the Araucarineae and should be 

 included in the genus Geinitzia, hence the title of the paper which, 

 however, should have been made to read " Affinities of the So- 

 called Sequoia gracillima (Lesq.) Newb.," leaving the new com- 

 bination to first appear in the text in its appropriate place.
