Bei'py, E. W., A New Cretaceous Bauhinia from Alabama. 

 (Amer. Jour. Sei. (IV) XXIX. p. 256—258. fig. 1. March 1910.J 



This paper describes a large and ornate new species of Bau- 

 hinia from the Upper Cretaceous Tuscaloosa formation of Ala- 

 bama. Berry.

 Nageiopsis of Fontaine. (Proc. U. S. nation. Mus. XXXVIII. 

 p. 185-195. fig. 1—2. 1910.) 



New studies of the lower Cretaceous gymnosperms of the genus 

 Nageiopsis show that instead of 14 previously described species 

 only three can be recognized. Indications of decurrent leaves ar- 

 ranged in a spiral phyllotaxy are described and the possibility of 

 their reference to the Araucarieae is pointed out, although in general 

 they correspond closely with the Nageia section of Podocarpus.

 Atlantic coastal piain — V. North Carolina. (Bull. Torrej'- 

 bot. Club. XXXVII. p. 181—200. pl. 19—24. April 1910.) 



In continuation of previous studies the author enumerates 29 

 additional species from the Upper Cretaceous Black Creek for- 

 mation in the State of North Carolina. New species are described 

 in Araucaria, Androvettia, Cephalotaxosperniuin (gen. nov.), Ficus, 

 Legutnniosites, GleditsiophyUu^n (gen. nov.) and Malapoenna. Berry. 



Berry, E. W., The Evidence ofthe Flora re gar ding the 

 age of the Raritan formation. (Journ. Geol. XVIII. p. 252 — 

 2.58. 1910.) 



Revised lists of the fossil plants found in the Raritan formation 

 of the Atlantic coastal piain are discussed and the conclusion is 

 reached that this flora indicates an Upper Cretaceous age probabl}^ 

 corresponding with the late Cenomanian of Europa. Berr3^ 



Humphreys, E. W., The name Buthotrephis gracilis Hall. 

 (Bull. Torrey bot. Club. XXXVII. p. 309—311. June 1910.) 



A nomenclatorial tangle due to the fact that Hall gave two 

 different species the same name is elucidated and Buthotrephis Hallii 

 is proposed for Hall's Buthotrephis gracilis of 1852 preoccupied by 

 Hall's species of the same name described in 1847. Berr3^
