Contributions to tfie iVIesozoic flora of the Atlantic coastal plain 



III. New Jersey* 



Edward W. Berry 

 (with plates i8 and 18^7) 



The present brief contribution includes additions and correc- 

 tions to our knowledge of the fossil flora of the Raritan formation 

 of New Jersey and embraces certain results obtained during a 

 monographic revision of this flora for the Geological Survey of 

 that state which it is desirable to pubHsh in advance of the com- 

 pleted work for the purpose of intelligent citation in connection 

 with the investigation of similar floras from the southern coastal 

 plain. 



It is now nearly twenty years since Professor J. S. Newberry, 

 through failing health, was compelled to stop work upon the Rari- 

 tan flora. In this interval there has been no published addition 

 to our knowledge of this flora except Dr. Arthur Hollick's admir- 

 able work in preparing Professor Newberry's manuscript for publi- 

 cation.

Much new material has been collected by the writer and others, 

 all of which has been passed in review and the ranges of many of 

 the species have been greatly extended. It is not my purpose, 

 however, to give any extended discussion or lists of species at the 

 present time, but simply to indicate certain taxonomic changes 

 made necessary by the progress of our knowledge of certain forms - 

 or by our present ideas of their specific segregation. Synonymy is 

 omitted wherever possible, as is any lengthy discussion of the spe- 



r 



cies mentioned.
