 Podozamites acutifolius Fontaine, 1893, Proc. U. S. Nat. Museum, vol. xvi, 



p. 266, pi. Ixxxvi, fig. 7. 



Description. — Leaflets ovate-acuminate, widest toward tlie base, 

 abruptly rounded to the short inequilateral pedicel. Sides straight, the 

 whole otitlinc suggesting a large leaf of the modern Araucaria Bidwilli 

 and identical in size, outline, and venation with the usual type of leaves 

 of Dammarca Moorei from New Caledonia. A^eins about 20 in number, 

 forked basally and converging conspicuously toward the apex. Length 

 3.5 cm. to 7 cm., greatest Avidth 8 mm. to 17 mm. 



The most complete and best specimen of this species is the one which 

 formed the type of Nageiopsis acuminata of Fontaine, and although he 

 says " nerves not seen," the venation is remarkably clear after twenty 

 years, and shows conclusively that it cannot be referred to Nageiopsis. 

 This species is also present in the G-len Eose beds of the Trinity in the 

 Texas area. 



Occurrence. — Patuxekt Formation. Near Telegraph Station (Lor- 

 ton), Dutch Gap, Virginia. Patapsco Formation. Deep Bottom, 

 near Brooke, Virginia. "* 



Collection. — U. S. National Museum.
