This paper is based largely '>n specimens in 

 the Museum collections, and is the first of a 

 series of papers hi be devoted to a compre- 

 hensive statement of the progress of the 

 development of the Mesozoic floras of the 

 United States. 



'the paper gives an historical account of 

 the work thus far dene on the Triassic and 

 Jurassic floras of the United states, and also 

 includes many new descriptions, nearly 200 

 species or separate forms being described. 

 Prof. Atreus Wanner describes a new Triassic 

 flora from material collected by himself in 

 York County. Pa., which is also figured by 

 himself. Professor Fontaine redescribes the 

 Emmons collection made 50 years ago in the 

 Trias of North Carolina. The whereabouts 

 of this collection was unknown for many 

 years. lie also describes and illustrates the 

 Jurassic flora of Oroville, Cal. Professor Ward 

 describes and illustrates 20 species of Cyca- 

 cltt/ti from 83 Jurassic cycadean trunks from 

 Carbon County, Wyo., and Professor Knowl- 

 ton describes fossil wood from the Trias of 

 North Carolina and the Jurassic of the Black 

 Hills of Wyoming, and the Freezeout Hills 

 of Carbon County, in the same State. A new 

 ^eiius of Jurassic conifers from South Dakota 

 is described as Pinoxylon. Professor Ward 

 gives a brief notice of the Triassic flora of 

 Virginia and points out its agreement with 

 the Triassic flora of Lunz in Austria, referred 

 by Stur to the Keuper.

II, 1900, pp. 719-930, pis. CLXXX-CXCIII. 

 This paper is based partly on Museum ma- 

 terial. The Pottsville formation issaid tocon- 

 stitutc, lithologically and paleontologically, 

 a division of the Carboniferous coordinate 

 with the Lower Coal Measures, "Allegheny 

 Series," etc., or the lowest member of what 

 in a broad sense the author terms the Meso- 

 carboniferous in the Appalachian province. 

 Its flora, so far, issaid to be largely identical 

 in both its generic and specific composition 

 with that from the supposed Middle Devonian 

 beds at St. John, New Brunswick.
