Holmes (oc. cit.) records stumps up to six feet in diameter in a 
dark stiff clay beneath 18~20 feet of loam, laminated sands and clays, 
and marls, a few miles below New Bern on the Neuse River. 
At station 850 were found many twigs and detached seeds. At 
Old Mill the twigs are common, and a rather poor cone impression 
was collected together with an unmistakable staminate ament. 
ANGIOSPERMAE 
Juglandales 
HicortA GLABRA (Mill) Britt. 
Berry, Torreya, Vol. VI (1906), p. 89. 
Occurrence based on a flattened nut and several husks from 
station 850. This species has been previously recorded from the 
Pleistocene of Virginia (nuts), and a small nut not specifically deter- 
mined is recorded by Hollick from Maryland. The latter author 
also describes leaves of apparently this species under the name of 
Hicoria pseudo-glabra from the basal Pleistocene (Sunderland) of 
Maryland. 
HicoriA OVATA (Mill) Britt. 
Determination based on two incomplete terminal leaflets from 
station 850 which resemble this species more closely than they do 
those of any other modern hickory. In the living flora this species 
ranges from Quebec to Florida. 
Hicoria sp. cf. microcarpa (Nutt.) Britt. 
A hickory nut of larger size, much flattened and with a thin, 
apparently tardily dehiscent, husk was found at station 850. As 
yet it has not been satisfactorily correlated with any of the existing 
species. 
Salicales 
SALIX SP. 
A single leaf of a willow was found at station 850. It has not been 
possible to satisfactorily determine its specific relations. The poplars 
which are well represented by three species of leaves in the Maryland 
Pleistocene have not yet been found in North Carolina. 
Fagales 
CARPINUS CAROLINIANA Walt. 
Represented by numerous leaves from station 850. Similar 
remains are recorded from the basal Pleistocene of Maryland by
