Additions to the flora of the Matawan formation 
EDWARD W. BERRY 
(WITH PLATES I-5) 
The following notes are based for the most part on collections 
made by the writer near Cliffvood, Monmouth County, New Jer- 
sey, during the spring and summer of 1903, although some of the 
material was collected the previous year. 
This locality, in all probability, furnished the specimens de- 
scribed by Newberry in his Flora of the Amboy Clays as from 
“near Keyport.’ He did not, however, recognize it as a distinct 
horizon. Hollick in 1897 published a brief paper on this flora, 
recognizing twenty-six species from this locality. The writer in 
previous papers * increased this number to seventy-two and the 
. Present contribution raises the number of known species to eighty- 
five, most of which are represented by well-characterized remains. 
A complete discussion of this flora is postponed for the pres- 
ent and will be included in a subsequent paper on the geology of 
the Matawan formation now in course of preparation. 
No attempt has been made to give the synonymy except where 
the species mentioned is new to the flora.
