Albian of France and Portugal is very meager indeed and compar- 

 able to the display of these plants in the Patapsco formation of 

 Maryland and Virginia, the latter showing a striking parallelism 

 with the Albian of the Old World with at least one identical species 

 and closely allied representatives in several identical genera.

Obviously these are of little service in correlation; nevertheless all 

 but one or two are dicotyledons of genera which in Europe are found 

 in the Cenomanian, Turonian, and Senonian. Allied forms are 

 largely represented in the Magothy formation, the Dakota Group, and 

 the Atane beds of Greenland. 



There are eleven Lower Cretaceous species which persist into the 

 Raritan. These are:
