Newberry, J. S. The Flora of the Amboy Clays. (Bull. Torrey 

 Botanical Club, vol. xtii, No. 3, pp. 33-37, March, 188G. 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 upper 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 

 ana last half of the Cretaceous age. Gives a brief synofisis of the flora of 

 the Amboy clays.
