Berry, Epwarp W.—Oretaceous Floras in North and South Carolina, Johns
Hopkins University Circular, n. s., 1907, No. 7 (whole No. 199), pp. 79-91.
Notes the discovery in North and South Carolina of fossil plant localities
which yield forms belonging to a remarkable Cretaceous flora of compara-
tive modern aspect, originally described from Greenland by Oswald Heer,
and now known to occur interruptedly at localities from New England to |
Alabama. A list of 15 species belonging to this flora, from a new locality

at Court House Bluff, Cape Fear River, Bladen County, N. C., is given.

Berry, Epwarp W.—Contributions to Pleistocene Flora. of North Carolina.
Jour. of Geol., vol. 15, 1907, pp. 338-349.

Announces the discovery of two Pleistocene plant localities in the
Coastal Plain of North Carolina and gives a brief preliminary descrip-
tion of the fossil plants obtained. As regards their significance, he con-
cludes that the temperatures were not lower than at the present time in
the same latitude and may have been higher. The flora shows a very
modern aspect and indicates a short lapse of time in a geological sense
since the deposition of the’ beds.

Classifies the Coastal Plain formations of the State. Introduces the
names Black Creek shales and “Burches Ferry marls” for Upper Cre-
taceous formations corresponding respectively to the Black Creek and
Peedee formations of North Carolina, as defined in the present report.

Coastal Plain of North Carolina. Johns Hopkins University Cireular,
n. s., 1907, No. 7 (whole No. 199), pp. 93-99.

The author recognizes three divisions in the Coastal Plain Mesozoic
deposits of the State. The lithologic and paleontologic characters, the
stratigraphic relations and areal extent of these divisions are briefly
summarized. For the oldest, which is correlated approximately with the
Patuxent formation of Virginia and Maryland, the name Cape Fear
