zekanowskia capillaris Newb. Monog. U. 5. Geol. Surv. 26 (Fl. 
Amboy Clays) : 61. pl. 9. f. 14-16. 1895. 
Closely packed masses, irregular shaped fascicles, and isolated 
fragments of linear, striated leaves, occasionally forked, occur abun- 
dantly in the clay layers of the Androvette pit. “Two of these speci- 
mens, natural size, are shown in figs. І, 2, Pl. 6. Many of the frag- 
ments in which the forking is not apparent have much the appearance 
of pine needles and may readily be mistaken for them; in fact, so 
far as the gross appearance of some of the masses of leaves is con- 
cerned, these could hardly be distinguished from similar remains of 
Pinus Quenstedti Heer.° ‘They are evidently identical, however, 
with the remains described by Newberry under Czekanowskia capil- 
laris, but referred by him with hesitation to this genus. 
Some of our more robust specimens, however, such as the one 
represented by fig. 2, Pl. 6, may be satisfactorily compared with 
C. (Sclerophyllina) dichotoma Heer, from the Cretaceous of Green- 
land, and with C. nervosa Heer, from the Cretaceous of Portu- 
gal,5? which latter species has also been identified by Ward from the 
Cretaceous (Hay Creek series) of the Black Hills, while the more 
delicate ones, such as are represented by fig. 1, Pl. 6, are more nearly 
like certain of the forms of C. rigida Heer, from the Jurassic of 
Siberia,“ and as figured by Nathorst from the Triassic of Sweden.” 
Certain of these figures are in fact practically identical in general 
appearance with ours, and if the two series of figures are compared 
it is difficult to resist the impression of specific identity between them 
in several instances. It is also of interest to note, incidentally, that 
we find the same close association of these and certain other conif- 
erous remains in the Androvette pit as is mentioned by Heer in his 
““Kreide-Flora " (1. c., p. бо), where he says that the remains of С. 
dichotoma occur “neben den Zweigen der Sequoia Reichenbachi.”
