?Cladophlebis lata Fontaine

FORANWT1923-35 (Mesozoic loc. 7654) , Barrow , Kukpowruk River 40 miles above mouth, approximately 1000' stratigraphically below coal series, in zone of disturbance

FORANWT1923-Station "B" (Mesozoic loc. 7664) , Utukok River , On Utokok River 14 miles from mouth. Strata on Utokok River lies nearly horizontal, therefore all specimens collected on this river must be approximately in the same stratigraphic position.

FORANWT1923-Station "C" (Mesozoic loc. 7665) , Utukok River , On Utokok River 15 miles from mouth. Strata on Utokok River lies nearly horizontal, therefore all specimens collected on this river must be approximately in the same stratigraphic position.

Taxites olriki Heer?

Stems, etc.

FORANWT1923-Station "E" (Mesozoic loc. 7666) , Utukok River , On Utokok River 17 miles from mouth. Strata on Utokok River lies nearly horizontal, therefore all specimens collected on this river must be approximately in the same stratigraphic position.
