s_cies of Frenelites. When I-leer discovered it in the Greenland
material, where it has been collected from both the Atane
and the Patoot beds, he transferred it to the present genus. It
has suhsequetttly been reported from the Cenomaniat_ of Bohemia
and Moravia, from the Magothy formation at numerous localities
arid from the southern New England islands. It has also
been reported from the Tuscaloosa formation of Alabama, where
it is abundant at a number of localities. I-Ieer made Glyptos_
trob1._sgracillinus Lesq., of the Dakota Group, a.synonym of this
species, and he has been followed by many subsequent authors.
As this relation is not definitely estaNished I ha,_e not included
Lesqueret_x's form in the foregoing synonomy, although I think
they may eventually prove to be identical.
Widdringtonites Reichii is closely allied, if not identical, with
z_cot-amen conifer of the Patapsco formation of Maryland and
Virginia, which is to be described shoTtly as Widdrington#es
rctmosus, 'being based upon Ta_odiun+ r(_mosum and various
other species of Pro_essor Fontaine's Flora of the Potomac
Group. Staminate cones of the former are well shown in, the
Raritart specimen figured by Newberry "on pl. 8, fig. 3 (loe. dr,),
and similar specimens are common in the Bohemian material.
