Texas. I feel suit- the fact that only one seed was found was due 

 to our overlooking them because of their minuteness. 



( .rape seeds are very common in deposits of this character, 

 often however, being too badly preserved to give them a specific 

 name. This species of grape has been reported from the Wicom- 

 ico and Pamlico — both Pleistocene — in Washington. The genus 

 Yitis ranges from the upper Cretaceous to the present.

The genus Taxodium is represented by several poorly pre- 

 served leaves. It is most likely that these leaves belong to 

 Taxodium distichum, the common bald cypress, which is found 

 today in the nearby regions farther south. These leaves were 

 too poorly preserved to give a definite specific name to them. 

 Even too poorly to be illustrated. 



Along with these Taxodium leaves and the cypress stumps 

 were found three galls belonging to the species Retinodiplosis 

 taxodii.
