Berry, E. W., American Triassic Neocalam i tes. (^Bot. Gaz. 

 LIII. p. 174—180. f. 1. pl. 17. Feb. 1912.) 



A description of a type of true Calamite from the Upper 

 Triassic of the Richmond coal-field in Virginia under the name 

 Neocalamites Knowlto)ii. The specimen shows a slender striated 

 stem with opposite branches, divided into short internodes, bearing 

 whorls of 9 to 10 linear- lanceolate, uninerved, approximately equal, 

 leaves, at the nodes, and closely comparable with the genus 

 Annularia of the Paleozoic. Berrv.

 Atlantic Coastal Piain. VIII. Texas. (Bull. Torrey Bot. Club. 

 XXXIX. p. 387—406. pl. 30—32. 1912.) 



In continuation of previous studies the flora contained in the 

 Upper Cretaceous Woodbine formation of northeastern Texas is 

 considered. The following well marked new forms are characterized 

 and figured Brachyphyllum macrocarpum forniosuntj Rhus redditi- 

 forniiUj Zisyphiis latnavensis and Oreodaphne alabmnensis. 



The Woodbine flora contains in addition to these new forms, 

 the following well known Upper Cretaceous species: Aridromeda 

 Novae-caesareae Hollick, A. Snowii Lesq., Aralin Wellingtoniana Lesq., 

 Bensoin venustian (Lesq.) Knowlton ?, Cinnanioniurn niembyanaceimi 

 (Lesq.) Hollick, Colutea primordialis Heer, Cornophylliini vetustuni 

 Newb.. Eucalyptus Geinitsi Heer, Ficiis daphnogenoides (Heer) Berry, 

 LaiirophyUian minus Newb., Laurns plutonia Heer, Liriodendron 

 quercifolniin Newb., Magnolia speciosa Heer, Malapoenna falcifolia 

 (Lesq.) Knowlton?, Myrica emarginata Heer, Palaeocassia laiirinea 

 Lesq., Podo:~aniites lanceolatus (L & H) F. Braun, Popuhcs harkeriana 

 Lesq., Rhamnus tenax Lesq., Sapindus Morrisoni Lesq., Stercitlia 

 lugubris Lesq.? Tricalycites papyraceus Newb, Viburnum vobus- 

 ttiin Lesq.? 



The flora is closely allied to other coastal piain Cretaceous 

 floras and to that of the Dakota Group of the West. More precisely 

 it is to be correlated with that of the Upper Raritan of New Jersey 

 and the Lower Tuscaloosa of Alabama. Berry.

 Bot. Club. XXXIX. p. 341—348. tf. 1. pl. 24, 25. 1912.) 



This paper discusses more especially the Upper Cretaceous 

 species Widdfingtonites stibtilis Heer. The author flgures 4 valved 

 cones attached to the typical twigs of this species from the Tusca- 

 loosa formation of Alabama. The epidermis is described as well as 

 the Position and form of the stomata which consist of a ring of 

 accessory cells and two submerged guard cells. Berry. 



Berry, E. W., Pleistocene plants from the Blue Ridge in 

 Virginia. (Am. Jour. Sei. XXXIV. 4. p. 218-223. f. 5. 1912.) 



Describes the Pleistocene occurrence of a t3'pical southern 

 coastal piain assemblage in the Great Valle5^ on the western slope 

 of the Blue Ridgc at an altitude of about 1000 feet. The species 

 recorded are Pinns sp., Taxodiuni distichum (L.) Rieh., Quercus 

 alba L., Quercus predigitata Berry, Crataegus sp., Acer sp., and
