RRY: MESOZOIC FLORA OF ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN 287 
species, Ficus Krausiana and Diospyros primaeva, occur in both 
the Cenomanian and Turonian of Europe. 
- ene ee sand flora consists of eleven species, five of which 
a9 peculiar to this horizon. Only one is common to 
‘ a “a aha although two additional are found in the basal 
Da, abama or Georgia. Two are common to the Cusseta 
: wo occur in the Black Creek formation. The distinct- 
oe of the McNairy sand flora is further emphasized by the total 
sence of any Raritan, Woodbine, Tuscaloosa, Dakota or 
Magothy species. Singularly enough it has no known elements in 
common with the Cretaceous floras of the Rocky mountain or 
Great Plains provinces. Compared with European Upper 
Cretaceous floras it has two species, Dryophyllum gracile and 
Cissites crispus, common to the Emscherian of Prussia and Bohemia 
and not found elsewhere. While this is not sufficient evidence 
a which to base intercontinental correlation it is not without 
significance, especially in view of the fact that the McNairy sand 
has not yet furnished any elements common to the fairly abundant 
floras of the Campanian and Maestrichtian of Europe.
