The specimens referred to this species and figured by Lesquereux are 
i the United States National Museum (No. 80). It is with a great deal 
f hesitation that they are permitted to stand under this name, but it 
as thought that less confusion would be created by retaining the 
omenclature of Lesquereux. Schenk is of the opinion 1 that all the 
jecimens referred by Lesquereux to Sequoia brevifolia should properly 
e united with 8. Langsdorfii, and possibly this should be done, 
>r, according to the figures given by Heer of his 8. brevifolia, it 
aproaches closely to 8. Langsdorfii, differing merely by the shorter, 
ore wedge-shaped leaves. From notes left by Dr. Newberry it 
spears that he was inclined to refer this species to his Sequoia euneata 
r axodium cuneatumj 2 from Nanaimo, Vancouver Island. But New- 
3rry 7 s species is founded on small fragments, which do not clearly 
iow the complete character, although it does, so far as can be made 
it, much resemble Lesquereux's specimens. Under these circumstances 
appears best to keep them separate. 
Habitat. — Point of Rocks, Wyoming. 
Sequoia sp. 
'yjptoslrobus europmis? Heer, Knowlton in Stanton's Colorado Form., Bull. U. S. 
Geol. Survey No. 106, p. 42 (1893); Stanton and Knowlton, Bull. Geol. Soc. Am., 
Vol. VIII, p. 150 (1897). 
The collection made by Mr. Stanton at Coalville, Utah, contains a 
inute fragment that was questionably referred to Glyptostrobus 
ropceus. A reexamination of the specimen leads to the conclusion 
at this determination was probably incorrect, and that it is much 
ore likely it represent a species of Sequoia. It has some resem- 
ance to small branchlets of S. affinis Lx., 8. Couttsiw, etc., but it is 
o fragmentary to be of value. 
Habitat. — Coalville, Utah. (No. 3567, United States National 
useum.)
