ADDITIONS TO THE PLEISTOCENE FLORA .OF 

 NORTH CAROLINA* 



By Edward W. Berry 



In a previous paper the writer enumerated thirty-eight species, 

 mostly forms which still exist, from the Pleistocene deposits of 

 North Carolina.! Considerable new material, for the most part 

 unstudied as yet, has since been obtained, from which the follow- 

 ing have been selected for enumeration at the present time. 



Juglandales 



HicoRiA AQUATiCA (Michx. f ) Britton 

 Salix sp., Berry Journ. Geol. 15 : 340. 1907. 



Additional material has made possible the certain correlation 

 of the specimen previously listed as a willow with this species of 

 hickory. In the modern flora it is a denizen of low river banks 

 and swamps from Virginia to Florida and westward in the Gulf 

 region to Texas. It has not hitherto been found as a fossil, 



Station 850, Neuse River. 



Fagales 



QUERCUS MICHAUXII Nutt. 



This occurrence is based upon fragments of leaves and charac- 

 teristic acorn cups. In the modern flora it inhabits low, wet sit- 

 uations from Delaware to Florida and westward, but has not 

 been previously obtained in the fossil state. 



Station 850, Neuse River. 



Ranales 



LiRiODENDRON TuLiPiFERA Linne 

 Berry, Amer. Nat. 41 : 695. 1907. 



Winged carpels of this species were recently recorded by the 

 writer from the Pleistocene of Alabama, but leaves have not been 

 previously recorded from American strata younger in age than the 

 Cretaceous, although the genus is common in the Arctic and Eura-
