DESCRIPTIONS OF SPECIES. 43 



Sequoia fastigiata (Sternberg) Heer? 



PI. Ill, fig. 15. 



Sequoia fastigiata (Sternb.) Heer, Neue Denkschr. Schw. Gesellsch., vol. 23 (Fl. Moletein), 1869 ; p. 11, pi. 1, 



figs. 10-13. 

 Caulerpites fastigiatus Sternb., Verst., vol. 2, 1833, p. 23. 



This specimen agrees better with some of the later of Heer's figures a than it 

 does with his original reference (loc. cit.), but the group in which it may be 

 included — with S. gracilis Heer and 8. concinna Heer — requires careful revision and 

 rearrangement. For this reason, and also because of the fragmentary character of 

 our specimen and the fact that the species has heretofore been recorded from the 

 United States only in the Dakota group of Kansas, I have thought it best to ques- 

 tion the specific reference. 



Locality: Gay Head, Marthas Vineyard. Collected by David White. Speci- 

 men in U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Sequoia gracilis Heer? 



PL III, fig. 14 

 Sequoia gracilis Heer, Fl. Foss. Arct., vol. 3 (Kreide-Fl.), 1874, p. 80, pi. 18, fig. lc; pi. 22, figs. la-5e, 7-10. 



This specimen is too imperfectly preserved for accurate comparison or positive 

 identification, and it might almost equally well be referred to certain forms of 

 8. concinna Heer. 6 from many of which it can hardly be distinguished.

 men in U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Sequoia sp. 



PL III, fig. 6. 

 Sequoia sp., Hollick, Bull. New York Bot, Gard., vol. 3, 1904, p. 410, pi. 72, fig. 2. 



This specimen is manifestly too fragmentary for satisfactory specific identifica- 

 tion, and while it might be referred to some one or another of the species in the group 

 to which S. ReicJienbacJii may be considered as belonging, such reference could be 

 provisional only, and I have thought it as w^ell to merely place it under its generic 

 name. 



Locality: Glen Cove, Long Island. Collected by Arthur Hollick. Specimen in 

 Mus. New York Bot. Gard. 



Cone of Sequoia concinna Heer. 



PL II, fig. 41. 



Sequoia concinna Heer, Fl. Foss. Arct., vol. 7, 1883, p. 13, pi. 49, figs. 8b, 8c; pi. 50, fig. lb; pi. 51, figs. 2-10; 



pi. 52, figs. 1-3; pi. 53, fig. lb. 

 "Eucalyptus Geinitzi, flower?/' White, Am. Jour. Sci., vol. 39, 1890, p. 98, pi. 2, fig. 11. 



Our figure was drawn from the same specimen as that figured by White, above 

 quoted, which he referred provisionally to the flower of Eucalyptus Geinitzi Heer, 

 but in regard to which he remarks (loc. cit., p. 98) : "It may belong to a conifer."
