Our specimens are smaller than any of those previously described 
and they are apparently incurved rather than rounded or mucronate 
above.

This species may be found, described and figured as B. crassum 
by Lesquereux, in his Flora of the Dakota Group (Monog. U.S. 
Geol. Surv. 17: 32. pf. 2, f. 5) from Kansas, and by Newberry, 
in his Flora of the Amboy Clays (Monog. U.S. Geol. Surv. 26: 
51. pl. 7, f. -7) from South Amboy, New Jersey. The specific 
name crassunz was however subsequently found to be antedated, 
having been applied by Tenison-Woods to a different plant, and 
Newberry’s manuscript name macrocarfum was adopted by 
Knowlton, as cited above. 
I am also inclined to consider it as identical with Achznostrobus 
sguamosus Vel. (Gymnosp. Boehm. Kreideform. 16. 2. 6, f. 3, 
6-8) from Bohemia, but Newberry evidently considered them as 
distinct and merely refers to their ‘‘ striking resemblance” (FI. 
Amboy Clays, 53). The species has not heretofore been reported 
from Long Island.
