1925. Berry, E. W. A fossil sea bean from Venezuela. Amer. Jour. Sci. 50:310-313. 

 1 fig. 1920. — Describes a fossil sea bean, Entada boweni, which is almost identical with the 

 existing Entada scandens, and comes from the Miocene of the foot-hills of the Sierra de Merida 

 in Venezuela. — E. W. Berry. 



1926. Berry, E. W. Contributions to the Mesozoic flora of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, 

 XIII.— North Carolina. Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 47:397-406. Fig. 2. 1920.— A summary 

 account of the Upper Cretaceous flora of North Carolina. Many well-known Upper 

 Cretaceous species are enumerated and fruits of Ficus and species of Aristolochites, and 

 Carpolithus are described as new. — E. W. Berry. 



1927. Berry, Edward W. Paleobotany: A sketch of the origin and evolution of floras. 

 Smithsonian Report 1918:289-407. 6 -pi., 42 fig. 1920.— A general account of the science, 

 with an illustrated discussion of the morphology, habits, and phylogeny of plants, and a 

 description of the successive floras of geologic time. — E. W. Berry.

1931. Yabe, H., and Endo, S. Discovery of a stem of Calamites from the Paleozoic of 

 Japan. Jour. Geol. Soc. Tokyo 27: 65-69. 1 fig. 1920. — The coal measures of China, Man- 

 churia, and to a less extent Korea are abundantly plant bearing, but in Japan these are repre- 

 sented by marine limestones. No remains of terrestrial vegetation of Carboniferous age have 

 been known from Japan except a supposed fragment of a Sigillaria which is very doubtful 

 both as to age and identity. The authors record from what is probably the Chichibu forma- 

 tion, of Carboniferous age, a fragment of a calamite whose anatomical characters suggest the 

 Arthropitys type of calamite stem structure. The material which came from marine beds 

 in the province of Iwami, is not sufficiently well preserved to permit a more precise identifi- 

 cation. — E. W. Berry.
