108 FLORA OF SOUTHERN NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND. 



with Antholithes nympTisepides Hos., a from the Cretaceous of Westphalia, which the 

 author subsequently renamed Pistites loriformis. b 



Our specimen, however, was apparently a cone or strobile, similar to those of 

 Magnolia, with which genus I am inclined to think it belongs.

These organisms are very abundant in certain layers of the Amboy clays, but 

 the specimen here figured is the only one thus far found within the insular area.

This species was originally described in part (loc. cit.) as consisting of "Three 

 entire, oblong-spatulate wings or appendages, . . . middle one usually the 

 largest." With the material now in our possession, however, the following amended 

 description seems to be advisable: 



Organism consisting of two (or, possibly, three) entire, longitudinally striated, oblong-spatulate wings or 

 appendages, 2-4 centimeters long by 1-1.3 centimeters wide, attached to a common nucleus. 



The indications of a tripartite arrangement are quite vague, even in our figs. 

 20, 21, while figs. 14-16, if they were the only specimens known, would undoubtedly 

 be described as consisting of but two appendages of equal size. Figs. 13 and 22 are 

 somewhat doubtfully included, but they apparently represent detached wings.
