194 BERRY: MESOZOIC FLORA OF THE COASTAL PLAIN 
beds of North Carolina. It is common in the Eutaw formation at 
Broken Arrow Bend on the Chattahoochee River in Georgia, from 
which place the type material was collected, and the present name 
was given in manuscript in allusion to the horizon. The Georgia 
material is more fragmentary than that from North Carolina, but 
withstands drying out much better, the latter being preserved in a 
loose carbonaceous sandy clay which furnishes miserable museum 
specimens. The drawings of this species were made, however, 
before the material had dried and weathered. 
This typical willow leaf is quite modern in appearance, sug- 
gesting the existing Salix nigra Marsh., Salix fluviatilis Nutt., or 
the Mexican Salix Bonplandiana H.B.K., and is entirely distinct 
from any Cretaceous willows hitherto described. It approaches 
Salix Newberryana Hollick somewhat in general appearance, but 
is much more elongate-lanceolate in outline and ranges to a much 
smaller size, besides showing other distinctive features. It re- 
sembles also certain European Tertiary willows, as for example 
Salix denticulata, S. Lavateri, and S. varians, The fruits figured 
on the plate with the leaves of this species are found associated 
with these leaves and are believed to belong to the same species. 
These fruits are found at the second locality cited below. 
OccurRENCE: Three miles and threeand one-half miles below 
Dunbars Bridge, Tar River, Edgecombe County, North Carolina.

‘This species, which was described originally from the Dakota 
group, occurs in the Raritan formation but is especially abundant 
in the Magothy formation of the more northerly coastal plane. It 
is sparingly represented in the North Carolina collections but is 
abundant in the South Carolina Cretaceous and in the Tuscaloosa 
formation of Alabama. 
OccuRRENCE: Big Bend, Black River.
