III. Paleobotany and Zoology. 



1. The Cretaceous Flora of Southern New York and New 

 England ; by Arthur Hollick. — Monograph L, U. S. Geol. Sur- 

 vey, 219 pp., xl pis. Washington, 1906. — The demonstration 

 that the "Island Series" of Ward, lying above Newberry's 

 Amboy clays and below the Cliffwood, New Jersey clays, is 

 well marked and of great extent, constitutes the main strati- 

 graphic contribution of this volume. In it are figured and 

 described some 222 species, many of which are new. Most are 

 dicotyledonous leaves from various points in northeastern New 

 Jersey, Staten Island, Long Island, Block Island, and Martha's 

 Vineyard. The plants of these island localities chiefly indicate 

 Lower Cretaceous strata of Raritan (= Albian) equivalence, the 

 New Jersey localities extending somewhat higher into the Ceno- 

 manian and possibly into the Senonian, or true Upper Cretaceous.
