310 The Upper Cretaceous Floras of the World 



are other scattered references to the Mesozoic flora too unimportant for 

 enumeration in the present connection. 1 



Upper Cretaceous Algje 



Giimbel/ Steinmann, 3 fiothpletz/ and other students 5 have described 

 numerous remains of calcareous and other algae with more or less of their 

 structure preserved from marine beds at various horizons in the Upper 

 Cretaceous. Since these papers usually contain material from widely 

 scattered localities it is not usually feasible to cite them by areas, although 

 a few of them are mentioned. They are not incorporated in detail in the 

 foregoing discussion for the reason cited above, and also because their 

 study has heretofore been a special field but little cultivated by either 

 botanists or paleobotanists and is as yet in its infancy, although promis- 

 ing results of immense value.
