Excerpt from Annals of the Lyceum of Natural History of New York, 1870, Vol. 9 It is an interesting fact that ofthese sixteen species, but three are identical with those obtained before from the same quarries, or those collected bv myself elsewhere at the same geological horizon - an illustration of the richness of the flora which they represent. My own observations prove this richness still more clearly, for, as I have said, in the outcrops of the Lower Creta ceous rocks at the lvest, i have detected at least a hundred species of conifers and angiospermous trees. Of these it rarely happened that, in the chance exposure of a cliff or water-washed 'ttrface, anything like a perfect specimen could be detached and brought away. As a consequence we have, in the figures ind descriptions now published or prepared, but a very imper fect. View of the flora of the Cretaceous period on this conti nent, even as it has been exhibited to my eyes; and there is every reason to believe that but a small proportion of its ele ments have as yet been observed at all.
