TERTIARY FOSSIL PLANTS FROM THE REPUBLIC OF 
HAITI.

Of the John Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland. 
The romantic island of Haiti or Hispaniola, which next to Cuba is 
the largest of the Antilles, is divided politically into the Dominican 
Republic and the Republic of Haiti. At the invitation of the respec- 
tive Governments the United States Geological Survey has, in the 
last few years, made geologic studies of the island under the direction 
of T. Wayland Vaughan. Geologic and paleozoologic data of great 
importance have been obtained, and a few collections of fossil plants 
were also secured. Those from the Dominican Republic, comprising 
small and for the most part poorly preserved materials of Tertiary 
age, were described by me in a recent paper.' 
This paper is published by permission of the engineer in chief of 
the Republic of Haiti. 
The work in the Republic of Haiti, in charge of W. P. Woodring, 
resulted in 13 small collections of fossil plants at the following local- 
ities: 
B 320 F. Département du Nord, 7 km. north of Dondon on trail to Grande Riviére, 
altitude about 400 meters above sea level. J.S. Brown, collector. March 21, 1921. 
B 91 F. Département du Sud, bluff on left bank of Bras 4 Gauche de Grande Riviére 
de Jérémie, about 10 km. south of junction of Bras 4 Gauche with Brasa Droit, and 5 
km. north of Sources Chaudesde Dame Marie. J.S. Brown, collector. November 17, 
1920. 
B 272 F. Département du Nord, about 6 km. south by west of Plaisance on road to 
Ennery, north slope of Mt. Puilboreau, altitude about 550 meters above sea level. 
J. 8. Brown, collector. February 25, 1921. 
W 190 F (U.S. G.S. Tertiary invertebrate station 9907).2? Département de |’ Ouest, 
first high bluff on left bank of Riviére l’ Ayaye above junction with Riviére Artibonite, 
about 18 km. northwest of Las Cahobas. W. P. Woodring, collector. January 10, 
1921.

2 Some of the localities have station numbers in the United States Geological Survey catalogue of 
Tertiary invertebrate fossil localities, as invertebrate fossils were collected at the same locality and from 
the same beds.
