.Tiffs is doubtfully a member of the Raritan flora: and probably
came from Newberry's locality "near Keyport," i. e., Cliffwood
bluff, which is in the overlying Magothy formation, as I have
found cones of this species at that place. Since, however, there
is no reason why this species should not occur in the Raritan, and
the present uncertainty as to the locality from which Newberry's
specimens were collected cannot be cleared up, it is retained as a
member of the Raritan flora.
Occurrence.--Locality unknown.
