Recent Literature Relating to Staten Island. 



In the New York Evening Telegram of February 17th, 1906, is an 

 article entitled "Amber Found in Goodly Quantity," in which the 

 amber deposits at Kreischerville are described. The article was ap- 

 parently inspired by a recent brief paragraph by Dr. Arthur Hollick, 

 entitled " Origin of the Amber Found on Staten Island," {Journ. N. Y. 

 Bot. Gard., vol. vii, pp. ii, 12. 1906), which includes a statement to 

 the effect that some of the Kreischerville lignites had been examined 

 microscopically and identified as belonging to the genera Sequoia and 

 Araucarioxylon. — A. H. 



The meeting then adjourned.
