MARTHAS VINEYARD CRETACEOUS PLANTS. 13 



Long island, Staten island and New Jersey,'^ and shown that a number of species 

 are common to all these localities. The material from the two localities first men- 

 tioned was rather meager, however, and, while some specimens were well defined, 

 the majority were poor, so that there was hardly a fair representation, numerically, 

 with those from New Jersey. 



In the material now under consideration there are about 400 specimens, of which 

 about 250 are perfect enough for satisfactory examination. The number of species 

 which these will probably yield is about 100, of which perhaps 15 or more will be 

 described as new. The others are referable, either definitely or provisionally, to 

 previously described species from middle Cretaceous strata — Amboy, Dakota, Atane, 

 Patoot, etcetera — largely the same as have been found on Long island, on Staten 

 island and in New Jersey.
