Hutton under the name Cyferites and by Watelet as Anomalo- 
phyllites and it is possible that one of these names may have 
to be adopted. 
It is to be understood that the above names are somewhat 
provisional, and may be changed in the light of some further 
material which yet remains to be figured and studied. No con 
siderable alteration, however, will ensue, although several new 
Species will doubtless be added. 
From the above it will be seen that of the species which have 
been identified nearly all are such as are well known in the lati- 
tude of Virginia at the present day. In other words, at the time 
these leaves were deposited in the sands of Southern New Jersey 
a flora must have flourished there similar to that of Virginia to- 
day, demonstrating the existence of a warmer climate than now 
prevails there. The significance of this fact concerns the geo- 
logist more than it does the botanist, but, as a last word, it may 
not be amiss to say that apparently these fossils represent the 
most recent extinct flora of which we have any knowledge, and 
bring us very close to the living flora of to-day. 
Plants Collected at Mt, Ktaadn, Me., August, 1892, 
Mt. Ktaadn is nota single peak as some imagine, but a moun- 
tain with acres of table lands, broken by slight eminences and de- 
Pressions. Its top is shaped somewhat like a horseshoe, and from 
One heel of the shoe around to the other it is perhaps seven or 
eight miles. This horseshoe encloses a basin of the same shape, 
which has nearly vertical walls two or three thousand feet high. 
The basin bears some resemblance to the crater of a volcano, ex- 
Cept that it is open on one side, and this peculiar formation gives 
it an interest greater than that of most other mountains of the 
same height, which is about one mile. From the toe of the shoe 
a long ridge runs into the center of the basin, which affords an 
Casier and less dangerous ascent than do the steep sides. There 
1S a small pond near the opening from the basin, fed by little rills 
from the sides, which during heavy rains become considerable 
torrents, dashing down the almost perpendicular walls, carrying 
Stones with them in their descent, and wearing gorges into the
