This modern inhabitant of low woods and banks from 

 Canada to Florida and Texas is frequent in the bottom lands 

 of central Alabama but not common elsewhere in the state. 

 As a fossil it is of frequent occurrence in Pleistocene deposits 

 from those of the Don Y alley in Canada to Alabama. 



The present record is based upon characteristic leaves which 

 occur in considerable abundance at localities No. 1, No. 3, 

 and No. 7.

This species ranges from New England to Florida and west- 

 ward to Texas and Mexico in the recent flora and is found 

 throughout Alabama, more especially in the rich bottoms and 

 swamp borders of the Coastal Plain. It has previously been 

 recorded from the Pleistocene of North Carolina and West 

 Virginia. The present record is based upon leaf fragments 

 and upon two somewhat macerated and flattened but charac- 

 teristic fruits from locality No. 4. 



Acer eubeum Linne. 



A species of swamps and low ground ranging from Canada 

 to Florida and Texas in the existing flora and common 

 throughout Alabama, not previously known as a fossil. The 

 present record is based upon leaf fragments from locality 

 No. 3. 



Acer saccharindm Linne. 



This species in the existing flora ranges from Canada to 

 Florida and westward to the Great Plains. It extends from 

 northern Alabama southward along the larger streams. It 

 has not been previously recorded from the Pleistocene, the 

 form described by Penhallow under this name from the Cana- 

 dian Pleistocene being referable to Acer saccharum Marsh. 



The present record is based on characteristic samaras from 

 locality No. 1 and No. 6.
