HISTORICAL SKETCH'. _5 More recentlythe faunaof thesedepositswas describedby Stuart Weller, in his volume on Cretaceous Paleontology. The lower "ooundary of the Raritan has never bfien questioned, but its upper limits have been more uncertain and have called forth considerable discussion, the present writer having indicated this upper boundary in I9o 5.

I6 THE RARITAN FLORA. IlL THE RARITAN f:ORNATION. :_'Troovc_'or_,. New Jersey has been divided into four physiographic zones. The oldest of these, known as The Highlands, dates from. remote geological time, its constituent rocks consisting for the most part of highly metamorphosed crystalline schists. This zone occupies a broad beit across the northern central portion of the State, and includes the eastern part of Sussex and Warren counties, the northern part of Passa:ic Connty, most of Morris County, and the northern part of HunterdorL County. It corresponds in age with the Piedmont Plateau of the states to the southward, and is represented by the basal part of the section in Figure I. Following the emergence of this belt of land in early gedlogical times, sediments were laid down along its western borders, and it is these Paleozoic sediments, since much folded, which today make up the Appalachia*z zone, comprising the Kittatinny valley and_ mountain of the northwestern portion of the State, in Sussex and Warren counties. The third and next younger zone, which is known as the Piedmont Plain, was laid down on the eastern flanks of the Highland area at a much later date. Topographically, it corresponds to the Piedmont Plateau region of the states to the southward, but consists, in NeW Jersey, of much younger rocks of late Triassic age, and includes roughly all or a part of Bergen, Passaic, Essex, Union, Somerset, Middlesex, Hunterdon, and Mercer counties. The fourth and yojmgest zone, known as the Coastal Plai;_,, includes the remainder of the State and extends from the present coast inland to the exposed area of the Triassic rocks. It is made up' of unconsolidated and undisturbed sediments, ranging in age from Cretaceous to Recent. A glance.at the geological column shown in Figure t, which is drawn approximately to scale, will show the relative position NEW JERSEY GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
