444 Systematic Paleontology 



extensive development of the plains type of country which was too arid 

 for their continued existence. Both the sempervirens and the wasMng- 

 toniana type are present in the Pliocene of Europe at a large number of 

 localities as well as three or four additional species represented by twigs, 

 cones, seeds, and wood. 



In the present flora the redwood is common in the coast range from 

 Oregon southward to Monterey County, California, while the big tree 

 is confined to the west slopes of the Sierras from southern Placer County 

 to Tulare County, California.
