CRETACEOUS CONIFERALES 45 
It seems highly probable that the cone scales of this type are of 
araucarineous affinities, especially as they are associated with numer- 
ous leafy branches of so-called Sequoias, which we have shown to be 
in reality twigs of araucarineous conifers, and this view of the matter 
is rendered the more probable by Endlicher's reference of Sequoia 
Reichenbachi, undoubtedly an araucarineous conifer, to the genus 
Geinitzia (l. c.), to which the isolated cone scales described above 
may well belong, since they show all the external characters of the 
scales found attached to complete cones in this genus. It appears 
then not unlikely that the cone scales just described may belong to 
the above or to an allied species, and if such should be determined to 
be the.case, the original specific name would have to be substituted 
for the one here proposed.

Plate 10, fig. 11; Pl. 25, fig. 4 
Remains consisting of peltate, four-sided scales; outer end of the 
fibrovascular cylinder of the stalk somewhat more gradually expanded 
than in Eugeinitzia, thus more nearly resembling Sequoia. 
Only a single specimen of this type was found. It is shown, 
x 5, in fig. тт, Pl. то. The condition of preservation was such that 
it was only possible to secure fairly good sections through the stalk. 
Part of one of these, in transverse section, X 100, is shown in fig. 4, 
Pl. 25. There is the same tubular fibrovascular cylinder as in the 
scales previously described, but in this type the expansion of the 
outer end is somewhat more gradual and resembles more or less the 
conditions found in Sequoia itself. It has not been possible to secure 
satisfactory sections of the peltate portion, but enough was made out 
to make it certain that the bundles surrounding the margin of the 
peltate disc in this case have the same encircling zone of transfusion 
tissue as in the scales described above. There seems in fact good 
reason to consider this scale, as well as the other, as araucarineous 
and as possibly belonging to the one genus, since the outline of the 
cone scale may not, perhaps, be regarded as a sufficiently important 
feature to bring about a generic separation, where the internal struc-
