Westphalia 



A considerable flora has been recorded from the Upper Cretaceous 

 of Westphalia. Eoamer in his Cretaceous of North Germany (184Cn 

 described one species (Chondrites furcillatus) from the Planer of Eothen- 

 felde. In 1863 von der Marck ' described eleven species from the Plat- 

 tenlialk at Drensteinfurth, Albersloh and Arenfeld near Sendenhorst. In 

 1867 Saporta ' published a brief paper in which he recorded four species 

 from a new locality — Haldem. In 1869 Hosius introduced into his 

 Geognosy of Westphalia s a discussion of a considerable number of fossil 

 plants from Legden, Sendenhorst, Albersloh, etc. The same year 

 appeared his account of the dicotyledons of the Westphalian Cretaceous J 

 chiefly from Legden near Coesfeld, and from Sendenhorst. Eleven years 

 later Hosius and von der Marck published their monograph on the Cre- 

 taceous floras of Westphalia. 5 All of the previous work is reviewed and 

 brought up to date. Five years later (1885) they published a short sup- 

 plement." 



They follow Schliiter's nomenclature ' in the division of the Cretaceous 

 and enumerate a number of new localities, e. g., Baumberge, Hopingen,
