There can be no question in regard to the identity of our specimens 
with the species described and figured by Newberry from the Cre- 
taceous of New Jersey, or in regard to their affinities with the 
Araucarineae, as we have elsewhere shown;*" but the determination 
of these facts does not mean that all of the coniferous remains which 
from time to time have been referred by various writers to the genus 
Brachyphyllum necessarily belong in it, or that all are necessarily 
araucarineous in their affinities. Our determinations, thus far, must 
be regarded as limited to the particular species under discussion. 
Since the publication of our preliminary paper in the American 
Naturalist (1. c.), however, we have had the opportunity to examine 
a great deal of additional material, some of it in an admirable 
condition of preservation, and as a consequence are able to give 
a much fuller account than that which first appeared. 
Detached leaves and fragments of twigs are abundant elements in 
the lignitic debris of the Androvette pit, but only one large specimen, 
obtained from the Drummond pit, has thus far been found. This 
latter is represented, natural size, in fig. 12, Pl. 4. It 15 partly 
decorticated, but shows the characteristic method of branching and 
the club-like shape of the ultimate twigs. Figures 13, 14, Pl. 4, 
and figs. 7, 8, Pl. 9, represent termini and lower portions of twigs, 
Ж то, showing the phyllotaxy and the closely imbricated, striated, 
scale-like leaves. It is also probable that some of the coarser lignite 
fragments with araucarineous structure may be referable to this 
species, as may be found discussed under the several types of such 
wood further on. 
Figure 1, Pl. 11, presents a general view in transverse section, 
Ж 11, Of the structure of a well preserved although somewhat flat- 
tened stem of B. macrocarpum. In the center may be seen the 
woody cylinder enclosing a rather large pith, which even with the 
low power of magnification used is seen to be occupied by masses .of 
sclerenchyma. Surrounding the fibrovascular cylinder is a cordon 
of resin canals, which appear as holes in the photomicrograph. 
External to these on the upper side of the figure is a dark line which 
marks a zone of periderm deep under the surface of the stem. Still
