not, however, sufficiently emphasize their contrasts. The Raritan 

 contains a number of types that survived from the Lower Cre- 

 taceous, while the Magothy introduces many modern types in 

 genera, among which the following may be mentioned: 



Amelanchier 



Doryanthites 



Lycopodium 



Paliurus 



Planera 



Araucaria 



Elaeodendron 



Marsilea 



Panax 



Rhamnus 



Bumelia 



Guatteria 



Nectandra 



Periploca 



Rhus 



Coccolobites 



Gyminda 



Nelumbo 



Persea 



Sabalites 



Crataegus 



Hedera 



Ocotea 



Picea 



Viburnum 



Dalbergia 



lUicium 



Onoclea 



Pistia 



Zizyphus 



Only three of these genera are sparingly represented in the Raritan. 

 It would hardly be worth while to follow the analysis farther in 

 the present connection, as sufficient facts have already been given 

 to establish the probability of the questions considered. Both 

 Veatch and Fuller {op. cit.) consider that some of the north-shore 

 outcrops represent the Raritan. Veatch, in discussing the under- 

 ground waters of Long Island in 1906 {op. cit.) differentiated 

 a horizon, the Lloyd sand, whose top is from 150 to 200 feet above 

 bedrock. This sand, which may or may not be a continuous stratum, 

 he believes he has identified in a considerable number of wells 

 along both the north and south shores of Long Island and also 

 in various records of wells in eastern New Jersey. He places it 

 in the Raritan, but if it is really a continuous bed at the same 

 stratigraphic level it probably represents the so-called laminated 

 sands^ formerly considered a part of the Raritan but shown by the 

 writer to be lower Magothy^, 



Here follows lists of the plants identified from the Raritan and 

 Magothy formations throughout their extent, which in the case 

 of the latter is from Martha's Vineyard to the Potomac River 

 valley, a distance along the strike of something like 450 miles 

 (750 kilometers).
