Excerpt from Contributions to the Knowledge of the Older Mesozoic Flora of Virginia
Sir: I herewith transmit the manuscript and plates of my memoir on "The Older Mesozoic Flora of Virginia."
The work is based upon the study of a number of plants obtained after several years of diligent search in the older Mesozoic strata of Virginia. The many difficulties attending the collection of fossils from these beds show that the plants here described form but a small fragment of what was evidently a rich flora. Still the list is sufficient, I think, to give us a fair idea of its general character.
