elsewhere described and figured.*? Unfortunately the condition of 
the specimen was such that it could not be sectioned for microscopic 
examination, so that its true generic or tribal relationship could not 
be determined. For this reason it is placed in the comprehensive 
genus Strobilites and a specific name given to it in honor of the dis- 
coverer, Mr. William T. Davis. It is in all probability, generically 
at least, identical with Fontaine's 4bietites angusticarpus (1. c.), but 
inasmuch as this name more or less definitely implies relationship 
with the Abietineae, it was not thought advisable to so refer it as 
long as any doubt remains as to its identity.

This specimen is little more than an impression in the clay and the 
determination of its generic or tribal relationship is not feasible. It 
is possible, however, that it may belong with some of the so-called 
Sequoia cones which are found more or, less abundantly in the Creta- 
ceous deposits of New Jersey, or, more probably, it may represent 
one of the species of cones from which some one or another of the 
scales described in this Memoir were derived and hence no distinctive 
specific designation is here attempted.
