424 Berry: MESOZOIC FLORA OF ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN 
habitat in other cases. That the rainfall was plentiful may be 
inferred not only from the grouping of the plants but from the 
development of dripping points. In a previous number of the 
BULLETIN, in a brief discussion of the Cretaceous flora of Georgia, 
the latter was compared with the modern temperate rain forest 
of New Zealand, for a discussion of which the reader is referred 
to Schimper’s Plant Geography. While this resemblance of the 
New Zealand flora to that of the Upper Cretaceous of the Atlantic 
coastal plain is of a most general nature, the former offers the 
nearest approach among modern plant assemblages to the Upper 
Cretaceous flora of the Atlantic coastal plain, a fact emphasized 
by a consideration of this Upper Cretaceous flora as developed 
in South Carolina. This flora will be fully described and illus- 
trated in a publication of the U.S. Geological Survey, now in press. 
The work was prosecuted under the supervision of Dr. T. Wayland 
Vaughan of that organization, to whom I am indebted for permis- 
sion to publish the foregoing brief abstract.
