ing to the Long Island Historical Society, are now in the geologi- 
cal museum of Columbia College. 
It will not be necessary, in this contribution, to discuss any ot 
the geological problems connected with these plant remains; this — 
has already been done in part* and may be found further con- 
sidered in a paper read before the New York Academy of 
Sciences, January 22, 1893, and now in course of publication in 
the Transactions. 
It is sufficient here to say that the specimens personally colr 
lected were found on Eaton’s Neck, Lloyd’s Neck, Oak Neck, and 
in the vicinity of Glen Cove. Mr. Gilbert Van Ingen’s collection 
was made at Sea Cliff, and the specimens belonging to the Long 
Island Historical Society were found in Brooklyn. The following — 
fifty-one descriptions include forty-six additions to the previously 
recognized cretaceous flora of Long Island, nine of which are 
new species. | 
In many instances I have been able to identify the Long Island 
species with unpublished descriptions and figures by Dr. J. 5. 
Newberry, representing the Amboy clay flora of New Jersey- 
“Where such has been the case I have retained Dr. Newberry's _ 
manuscript names. “

Amongst the numerous specimens of Salix from the Amboy — 
clays are several identified by Newberry as S. proteefoha Lesd- 
They vary considerably in size and it is probable that some of 
them may be referable to this variety. a
