The collection contains a single globular cone that is not to be dis¬ 
tinguished from this species. 
Sequoia (cone), 
pi. xxii, fig. 1. 
There is a single cone in longitudinal section and still attached to the 
long, slender peduncle. It is oblong as seen in section, being about 
16 mm. long and 15 mm. broad at the base. The peduncle is 3.5 cm. 
long and a little more than 2 cm. thick above. As nearly as can be 
made out, about four scales on each side are shown in section. 
The long, thick, apparently naked peduncle is the same as that in 
Sequoia heerii and this may belong to that species, but I am not cer¬ 
tain from the section through the middle of the cone as to the shape 
of the scales, and it seems best to consider it as different, at least for 
the present.

figs. 6, 7, 1869. 
This is by far the most abundant species in the collection, for be¬ 
sides some thirty or forty pieces of matrix containing hardly anything 
else, there is scarcely a piece that does not bear branchlets of greater 
or less size. 
Taxodium tinajorum Heer. 
Taxodimn tinajorum Heer, FI. Foss. Arct., p. 22, pi. 1, figs. 1-5, 1869. 
There are several specimens that seem to belong to this species, 
although it is difficult to separate them in all cases from the former 
species.
