Abstract
1. Araucariopitys is an araucarian Conifer found in the Middle Cretaceous Clays of Staten Island, N. Y. 2. Its structure and its association with impressions of the leaf-fascicles of Czekanowskia make it possible that it constitutes the branches of that genus, which in such a case cannot be regarded as belonging to the Ginkgoales. 3. Araucariopitys was characterized by the possession of deciduous shoots, which apparently persisted for a single year; by the characteristic radial pitting of its tracheids, transitional between true araucarian pitting and that found in the Abietineae; by rays differing from the araucarian type and approximating the abietineous type; by the formation of traumatic resin canals closely resembling those found in the Abietineae. 4. Araucariopitys, although unquestionably araucarian, was nearer in structure to the Abietineae than any other known araucarian genus living or extinct, and has been named in accordance with this fact. 5. Araucariopitys supplies additional evidence for the derivation of the Araucarineae from the Abietineae.
