BERRY: MESOZOIC FLORA OF ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN 405 
regards as cycadaceous in nature, but it is believed to be closest 
to Protophyllocladus subintegrifolius, a species that is abundant in 
the Atane beds of Greenland, the Dakota group of Kansas and 
Nebraska, the Raritan of New Jersey, and the Magothy from 
Marthas Vineyard to New Jersey, and which often assumes a 
sublobate form. This is especially shown in unreported collections 
made by the writer in the Magothy formation of New Jersey. 
The present species is found in the Magothy formation of 
Maryland and is frequent in the Middendorf beds of South 
Carolina. The latter occurrences will be fully described and illus- 
trated in a forthcoming report of the U. S. Geological Survey.

(?) ARAUCARIA BLADENENSIS Berry 
Araucaria bladenensis Berry, Bull. Torrey Club 35: 225. pl. 12-14. 
J. 1-3. 1908. 
This species is highly characteristic of the Black Creek and 
lower Eutaw horizons of the southern coastal plain and is very 
abundant in North Carolina and along the Chattahoochee River 
in Georgia, occurring also in central Alabama. It is represented 
in the Magothy formation of New Jersey by Araucarites ovatus 
Hollick. There is a single well marked leaf of an Araucaria in the 
collections from Grove Point, Cecil County, Maryland, which is 
very close to Araucaria bladenensis, but which I have queried 
since the material is so scanty that it might possibly represent a 
small leaf of the normally larger Araucarites ovatus. 
Sabalites magothiensis (Berry) nom. nov. 
Flabellaria magothiensis Berry, Torreya 5: 32. f.1I, 2. 1905. 
Since the name Flabellaria as the designation of a genus of 
fossil palms (Sternberg, 1820) is preoccupied by Cavanille’s mono- 
typic recent genus Flabellaria of the family Malpighiaceae, de- 
scribed in 1790, this species is referred to the form genus Sabalites, 
which is an equally appropriate repository for flabellate, Sabal- 
like, fossil palm leaves of uncertain botanical affinities.
