 Botanical Club, vol. xiii, No. 3, pp. 33-37, March, 188C. New 

 York.) 



Abstract of a paper on the flora of the Amboy clays, at least one-third of the 

 species seen to be identical with leaves found in the npper cretaceous clays 

 of Greenland and Aachen (Aix la Chapelle), -which not only indicates a 

 chronological parallelism, but shows a remarkable and unexpected simi- 

 larity in the vegetation of those widely-separated countries in the middle 

 and last half of the Cretaceous age. Gives a brief synopsis of the flora of 

 the Amboy clays.
