258 Berry: Araucarian remains 





lina,* single leaves or even fragments being quite characteristic and 

 easy of recognition. Discovered originally in material collected at 

 Parker Landing by Dr. L. W. Stephenson in 1906, it has since 

 been found in a large number of outcrops of this formation in this 

 same general region. 



Following are the localities from which it is known at the 

 present time : 



North Carolina: Parker Landing, Tar River (abundant); 



f 9 2 > 8>7 H> and 8 7/^ miIes above Newbern, Neuse River; 

 Big Bend (abundant), Sykes Landing, Clear Run, Corbits (Old 

 Union) bridge, A. C. L. R. R. bridge, Horrel Landing, and 74^ 

 miles above Wilmington, Black River ; Rockfish Creek, near Hope 

 Mills (abundant); mouth of Harrison's Creek, Cape Fear River. 



South Carolina : 3 to 4 miles northeast of Florence. 



Alabama : 2 miles south of Havana in Hale County. 



Jeffreyi 



Cone-scales deciduous, rhomboidal, straight-sided, thin-mar- 

 gined, the apex broadly rounded, with long central apical spur ; 

 scales divided by transverse furrow into " ligule " and scale proper, 

 single-seeded. (Plate 16.) 



This species is represented by a considerable number of large 

 single-seeded cone-scales preserved as impressions and associated 

 with Araucaria bladcnensis at Big Bend and A. C. L. R. R. bridge 

 on the Black River, at 92 and 87^ miles above Newbern on the 

 Neuse River and at Parker Landing on the Tar River, all localities 

 in North Carolina. The latter specimens differ somewhat from the 

 others and approximate more nearly the shape of the foliage leaves 

 of Araucaria bladcnensis, but since the scales from the former locality 

 are somewhat variable, as indeed they are from different positions 

 on a single modern Araucarian cone, it seems likely that they all 

 belong to one species of cone. 



The scales are rhomboidal, the thin lateral margfns straight to 

 the point of greatest width, then more or less rounded, produced 

 medianly into a long and narrow point. This point is over a 

 centimeter long in two specimens which still lack the terminal
