Berry: Mesozoic flora of the coastal plain 169 



Thuja cretacea (Heer) Newb. Fl. Amboy Clays 53. //. 10. f. 

 1, la. 1896. 



This species occurs in the Magothy formation at Grove Point, 

 M<±, and at Deep Cut, Del., and is excessively common at the 

 latter locality. 



Widdringtomtes Reichii (Ett.) Heer, Fl. Foss. Arct. 6 2 : 51.//. 

 28. /. 5. 1882. 



A very common species in the Atlantic coastal plain ranging 

 from Greenland and Martha's Vineyard to Alabama. The new 

 localities are Morgan, N. J., Deep Cut, Del., Grove Point and 

 Overlook Inn road on Good Hope Hill in the District of Colum- 



bia. 



M 



Picea cliffwoodensis sp. no v. 



A remarkably well-preserved cone of Picca was collected at 

 Cliffwood bluff and scales of apparently the same species occur in 

 the lignite at the pits of the Cliffwood Brick Company. The 

 principal specimen is pyritized and slightly flattened and is 8 cm. 

 long with the apical portion missing, so that the cone in life was 

 10-12 cm. in length and very similar to the modern European 

 Picca excelsa (Lam.) Link. Scales thin, persistent, somewhat kite- 

 shaped, broadest across the middle and obtusely pointed, the two 

 contained seeds rather large. Clearly referable to Picca and much 



more definite in its relations than other spruce-like fossil cones 



variously described as Pinns, Pinites, etc. 



This species will be fully described and figured in the Report 



of the State Geologist of New Jersey for 1905. 



Graminales 



/. /. 1905. 



This species of sedge, originally collected by Dr. VV. B. Clark 

 on Grove Point, Maryland, has continued to come to light from 

 other localities, and is a characteristic element in the flora of the 

 Magothy formation. The remains are usually fragmentary and to 

 that extent unsatisfactory. To the previously enumerated local- 

 ities of Morgan and Cliffwood bluff, N. J., Deep Cut, Del. and 

 Grove Point, Md., may be added Kinkora, N. J.
