Of those 257 species, 193 are peculiar to the 

 Holly Springs sand, 23 range upward from the 

 Ackerman formation, and 47 continue to the 

 top of the Grenada formation. The largeness 

 of the number of s])ecies tliat rang<'. to the top 

 of tiio Grenada fcu-mation is explained l)y the 



more extensive Holly Springs and Gr<nuula 

 floras, and also by the fact that the exceedingly . 

 ricli llora at Pmyear, Tenu., is near the to]) of 

 tltc beds of Holly Springs age. The i^lant 

 localities which fall in the Holly Sprmgs epoch 

 as hero dehmitcd ai-e, in Mississippi, tliose 

 around Oxford in Lafayette Comity, near 

 Lamar in Benton Comity, and Holly Springs 

 and Early Grove in Marshall County; in Ten- 

 nessee, at Puryear and Homy in Henry County, 

 rinson in Madison Comity, Shandy, aromid 

 Grand Junction, Baughs Bridge, and Lagrange 

 in Hardeman and Fayette counties; m Arkan- 

 sas, at Boydsvillo m Clay County, Bolivar 

 Creek in Pouisett Comity, near Gainesville and 

 Hardys Mill m Greene Comity; in Louisiana, 

 the localities around Shreveport in Caddo 

 Parish; and in Texas, at Okl Port Caddo Land- 

 ing in HaiTison Comity which belongs at the 

 top of the HoUy Springs horizon or more prob- 

 al)ly in the horizon of the Grenada foniiation. 



Those beds are not all of exactly the same 

 age, but some of them, for example, the beds 

 in the veiy rich lociility at Pmyear, ai'e much 

 younger than the bulk of the Holly Springs. 

 A detaded argument for these correlations is 

 believed to be unnecessary. The exact coito- 

 lation is shown in the accompanying colunmar 

 sections (fig. 10) and is based on the facts pre- 

 sented by the local distribution of the flora 

 as given in the chapter devoted to that subject 

 as well as in the taT)le of distribution.

Caenomyces pestalozzites.
