388 E. W. Berry — Pleistocene Flora of Alabama. 



The following species were identified from this outcrop : 

 Arundinaria macrosperma, Betula nigra, Quercus nigra, 

 Phoradendron flavescens, Liriodendron tulipifera, Platanus 

 occidentalis and Acer sacckarinum. 



In the absence of topographic maps it is impossible to iden- 

 tify the various systems of Pleistocene terrace deposits which 

 cross the state approximately parallel with the coast and which 

 extend inland up the present rivers, passing insensibly from 

 marine to estuarine, and finally to fluviatile conditions of depo- 

 sition. The present outcrop is believed to form a part of the 

 Northport terrace, which at Tuscaloosa is about 70 feet above 

 low-water mark in the Warrior River and about 140 feet above 

 sea level. 



Locality No. 2. — This outcrop is on the right bank of the 

 Warrior River about 342 miles above Mobile, and shows the
