BERRY: MESOZOIC FLORA OF THE COASTAL PLAIN 505 
the top of the Tuscaloosa formation and include the following 
species: 
Araucaria bladenensis Berry. Salix flecuosa Newb. 
Araucaria Jeffreyi Berry. Salix Lesquereuxti Berry. 
Ficus crassipes Heer. Sequoia Reichenbachi (Gein.) 
Ficus Krausiana Heer. Heer. 
The Sequoia is rare at this outcrop and Araucaria bladenensis 
is the most abundant form. The indicated horizon does not 
differ greatly from that of the preceding localities. 
4. Near Buena Vista.—This locality is in a gully along the 
Buena Vista-Tazewell road, about 6 miles northeast of the former 
town in Marion County. The horizon is that of the so-called 
Cusseta sands and the following identifiable species, based on poor 
and scattered material, indicate a flora not appreciably different 
from the preceding: 
Andromeda Novae- Caesareae Manthotites sp. nov. (same as at 
Hollick. McBride’s Ford). 
Araucaria bladenensis Berry. Monocotyledon, gen. et sp. nov. 
Eucalyptus angusta Velen. common to the Black Creek 
Ficus sp. nov. and Tuscaloosa formations). 
5. Near Byron.—This locality is in a cut of the Central of 
Georgia Railway about 1.5 miles northeast of Byron in Houston 
County. The specimens are few and poor but point to a correla- 
tion with the Cusseta sands near Buena Vista. The following have 
been identified, of which the Cunninghamites is the most abundant: 
Araucaria Jeffreyi Berry. Dryopteris sp. nov. 
Cunninghamites elegans (Corda)

When this Upper Cretaceous flora, which consists of but 32 
determinable species, is compared with allied floras one is struck 
with its paucity. For example, the Tuscaloosa flora of Alabama 
probably contains about 200 species, the Black Creek flora of the 
Carolinas about 100 species and the Magothy flora considerably 
more than 100 species. It is evident that the Georgia flora pre- 
sents but a meager picture of the contemporaneous vegetation 
of the Piedmont area of Georgia. Another noticeable feature is
