BERRY: MESOZOIC FLORA OF ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN 175 
MyriIca CINNAMOMIFOLIA Newberry 
Myrica wepachtet ten Newberry, Fl. Amboy Clays 64. pl. 22. 
f. 9-14. 1896. 
The finding of this species in the lower member of the Bingen 
sand is of considerable interest since it has heretofore been known 
only from the middle part of the Raritan formation in the New 
Jersey area where it is not uncommon. Its reference to the genus 
Myrica is questionable. 
OccURRENCE: Mine Creek, three and one half miles north of 
Nashville, Howard County.

Myrica longa Heer, Ibid. 6°: 65. pl. 18. f. 9b; pl. 29. f. 15-17; pl. 
33: {.20; pb47.f. ad... 1883. 
Leaves of various sizes, linear to lanceolate in outline, with a 
stout midrib; numerous thin, ascending, camptodrome second- 
aries; entire margins, obtusely pointed apex; narrowly decurrent 
_ base and long stout petioles. 
This species was described by Heer as a Proteoides and sub- 
sequently referred to the genus Myrica. It occurs in both the 
Atane and Patoot beds of Greenland, in the Dakota sandstones of 
the West, in the Magothy formation of Maryland, in the Woodbine 
formation of Texas, and is very common in the Tuscaloosa forma- 
tion of Alabama. Itis sparingly represented in the lower member 
of the Bingen sand. Abroad it has been recorded* from the lower 
Turonian of Bohemia. 
OccURRENCE: Mine Creek, three and one half miles north of 
Nashville, Howard County.
