BERRY: MESOZOIC FLORA OF ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN 56 
a small collection of leaves from the Tuscaloosa beds at Tuscaloosa 
but this list seems never to have been published. 
In 1886 Smith and Langdon discovered several localities for 
fossil plants in the vicinity of Tuscaloosa (Cottondale, Snows 
Place, Tuscaloosa) and the next year the United States Geological 
Survey sent Professor Fontaine into the field. 
The latter made large collections of mostly fragmentary 
material from these outcrops as well as from one or two other 
outcrops near the town of Tuscaloosa. In 1892 Professor Lester F. 
Ward visited Alabama and in company with Dr. Smith made 
extensive collections from Glen Allen and Shirleys Mill. These 
collections received a preliminary study by Professor Ward, who 
furnished a list of 35 species which was published by Smith in 
1894 in his Report on the Geology of the Coastal Plain of Alabama. 
This list enumerated the following forms:

In preparation for my work I spent the field season of 1909 
in Alabama, revisiting all of the known plant localities and making 
extensive collections. In company with Dr. L. W. Stephenson 
the Warrior and Tombigbee river sections were studied by means
