Berry, E. W., Contributions to the pleistocene flora of 

 North Carolina. (Journ. of Geology XV. p. 338—349. 1907.) 



Thirty-six species of plants are eniimerated from the Pleistocene 

 deposits of North Carolina, the majority being species which still 

 exist and seemingly indicating a climate somewhat warmer than 

 the present climate for this latitude. Oaks are the most prominent 

 Clement in this flora which includes new species in Betula , Quercus 

 (2), Malus, Crataegus (2), Dendrhtm and Vaccinnnn. Berry. 



Berry, E. W., Paleobotanical notes. (Johns Hopkins Univ. Circ. 



N. S. 1907. N". 7. p. 79-91. figs. 6.) 



Middle Cretaceous floras are recorded for the first time from 

 both North and South Carolina: new species are described from 

 the Magothy formation in Gleichenia , Osniiinda , Williamsonia , Cra- 

 taegus and Zisyphiis from localities in New Jersey and Delaware, 

 And the stomata of Protophyllocladus subintegrifolius (Lesq.) Berry 

 are described. Berry.

 [Oligocene] di Zuri [Sardegna]. (Cagliari— Sassari. in-S^. 20 pp. 

 avec une planche hors texte. 1907.) 



L'auteur decrit et figure la structure anatomique de deux troncs 

 fossiles de l'Oligocene de Zuri (Sardaigne) appartenant ä la col- 

 lection Lovisato, et celle du bois des especes Vivantes voisines. 

 C'est ainsi qu'il decrit en comparant entr'elles la structure anatomi- 

 que du Robinioxylon suriensis Tq. avec celle du bois du Robinia 

 Pseudo-Acacia L., et celle de V Erythrinoxylon latiporosum Fq. avec 

 celle du bois de VErythrina crista-galli L. Enfin il decrit aussi la 

 structure d'un tronc fossile appartenant au meme horizon geologique 

 en le rapportant au genre Erythrinoxylon, sans pouvoir en achever 

 l'etude. R. Pampanini.
