WIDDRINGTONITES SUBTILIS Heer, 



PL IV, figs. 2-5. 



Widdringtonites subtilis Heer, Fl. Foss. Arct., vol. 3 (Kreide-Fl.), 1874, p. 101, pi. 28, figs. 1-lc; Hollick, Bull. 



Geol. Soc. Am., vol. 7, 1895, p. 13; Newberry, Mon. U. S. Geol. Survey, vol. 26 (Fl. Amboy Clays), 1895 



(1896), p. 57, pi. 10, figs. 2-4. 

 Widdringtonites Reichii (Etts.) Heer? Hollick, Ann. New York Acad. Sci., vol. 11, 1898, p. 58, pi. 3, fig. 8. 



This species, unlike W. Reichii, appears to be restricted in its geographical distribu- 

 tion to Greenland and the eastern United States, although certain of the coniferous 

 remains from the Cretaceous of Bohemia, referred by Velenovsky to Cyparissidium 

 minimum Ye\. a and to Juniperus macilenta Heer, & present a striking superficial 

 resemblance to it. 



Locality: Gay Head, Marthas Vineyard, PL IV, figs. 2-4. Collected by David 

 White. Specimens in U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Black Rock Point, Block Island, PI. IV, fig. 5. Collected by Arthur Hollick. 

 Specimens in Mus. New York Bot. Gard. 



Widdringtonites fasciculatus n. sp. 



PI. IV, fig. 1. 



Branches and branchlets thick and inflated, the latter terminating in relatively short fascicles of deli- 

 cate, minutely-leaved twigs. 



This specimen has somewhat the appearance of a certain form of W. subtilis 

 Heer, c in regard to which he says (loc. cit., p. 101) : 



In many specimens the twigs are more closely grouped. * * * They, and also the leaves, are strongly 

 appressed, on account of which the plant presents a different appearance. I at first took it to be a Trichomanes, 

 until a more exact investigation convinced me that it represented the closely fascicled twigs of W. subtilis, on 

 which, with a magnifying glass, one could see the small appressed leaves. 



Our specimen, however, appears to be so distinctive that it seems to be deserving 

 of a new specific name, under which, if thought advisable, Heer's figure above 

 referred to might be included.

 1, 2; pl. 6, figs. 1-6; pl. 7, fig. 1; Newberry, Mon. U. S. Geol. Survey, vol. 26 (Fl. Amboy Clays), 1895 

 (1896), p. 58, pl. 12, figs. 4, 5; Hollick, Bull. New York Bot. Gard., vol. 3, 1904, p. 410, pl. 72, fig. 1; Berry, 

 Bull. Torrey Bot. Club, vol. 31, 1904, p. 71, pl. 4, figs. 9, 10.

These remains are so indefinite that I have merely referred them provisionally 

 to this species, and in this I have been largely influenced by the fact that similar 

 remains, found in the clays and clay marls of New Jersey, have been so referred by 

 Newberry and Berry (loc. cit.)
