170 Berry: Mesozoic flora of the coastal plain 



Arecales 



Flabellaria magothiensis Berry, Torreya 5 : 32./. /, 2. 1905. 

 This species was described from material collected in Dela- 

 ware and Maryland, so that great interest attaches to the finding 

 of the same form, and in considerable abundance, in the pits of 

 the Cliffvvood Brick Company in New Jersey. It thus serves to 

 characterize the Magothy formation. The material is poor, but 

 characteristic. The largest fragments secured are 17 cm. long 

 and 8 cm. wide. 



JUGLANDALES 



Juglans arctica Heer, Fl. Foss Arct. 6 2 : 71. pi. 40./. 2 ; pi. 



41./. 4c ; pi. 42. f. i-j ; pi. 4J.f. J. 1882. 



Heer figures a number of leaves of this species which show 

 considerable range in size, and he includes under this name a nut 



/> 



of aments. His pi. 40. f. 2 shows a much larger leaf than the 

 rest of his specimens, doubtfully related to Juglans in my opinion, 

 and looking more like the leaf of some species of Magnolia. With 

 the balance of his figures our leaf agrees very well, as it does with 

 Newberry's leaf from Woodbridge, N. J.,* and Lesquereux's leaves 

 from Kansas. \ Hollick's leaf from Long Island % is a basal frag- 

 ment of a much larger leaf and his Block Island reference is based 

 upon an ament. 



In some of the Dakota group leaves the secondaries are some- 

 what more ascending than in our specimen, but it seems to me that 

 there can be no question as to their identity. 



A rather curious point of identity is the fact that the Green- 

 land, New Jersey and Kansas leaves are all inequilateral, addi- 

 tional proof, if that were necessary, that they appertain to Juglans. 

 From the pits of the Cliffwood Brick Co., N. J.

 this leaf from Grove Point, Md., while the Arctic leaves vary con-
