406 Berry: MESOZOIC FLORA OF ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN 
This well marked type, which was described originally by 
Professor Heer from the Atane beds of Greenland as a species of 
Chondrophyllum, and which was found to be exceedingly common 
in the Black Creek beds of North Carolina, is present in ne 
Magothy formation at Grove Point, Cecil County, Md. 
Doryanthites cretacea gen. et sp. nov. 
ves, as preserved, linear, presumably lanceolate above and 
Sesching below, alike on both surfaces, 4.5 cm. to 6 cm. wide and 
preserved without any diminution in width for a length of 50 cm. 
Texture very coriaceous. Margins entire. Veins simple and 
parallel, immersed, less than I mm. fo Stomata poorly pre- 
served, in rows in hollows between the vein 
These curious forms, which will be more « tulle characterized 
and. figured in monographs on the North Carolina and Georgia 
floras now in course of publication, call to mind the larger forms 
of Cordattes or some modern giant bromeliad. They are mono- 
cotyledons of unknown botanical affinity, and the name chosen is 
based upon their similarity with the modern genus Doryanthes 
of the Liliales and is without any significance of relationship. 
The present species is abundant and characteristic in the Black 
Creek formation of North Carolina, the Cusseta sands of Georgia, 
and the lower Eutaw of Alabama. It is probably represented in 
the Magothy formation of New Jersey by the forms from Cliffwood 
bluff which have been identified as Podozamites marginatus Heer. 
In the Maryland Magothy Doryanthites cretacea occurs at Sullivans 
Cove and other adjacent localities along the Severn River in Anne 
Arundel County. 
MAGNOLIA CAPELLINII Heer 
Magnolia Capellinii Heer, Phyll. Crét. Nebr. 21. pl. 3. f. 5, 
1866. 
This well-known species, which characterizes the Magothy 
formation of the northern coastal plain, the Black Creek beds of 
North Carolina, and the Tuscaloosa formation of Alabama, occurs 
in the Magothy formation of Maryland at Grove Point in Cecil 
County, and at Sullivans Cove on the Severn River in Anne 
Arundel County.
