INDEX OF GENERIC NAMES OF 

FOSSIL PLANTS, 1974-1978 

By ARTHUR D. WATT 

INTRODUCTION 

This bulletin is a continuation of the series begun as "Index of 

Generic Names of Fossil Plants, 1820-1950" (U.S. Geological Survey 

Bulletin 1013, 1955) by Henry N. Andrews, Jr. Bulletin 1013 was 

followed in 1970 by Bulletin 1300, also by Andrews; this encompassed 

the period 1820-1965 and included a complete history of this project 

and of the U.S. Geological Survey Compendium Index of Paleobotany, 

the primary source of material for this series. In 1975, Anna M. Blazer 

prepared a supplement (U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin 1396) that 

covered the period 1966-1973. The present supplement generally 

follows the format of the 1966-1973 Index, as well as the methodology 

described therein by Blazer. Some older names inadvertently omitted 

from the earlier bulletins have been incorporated here insofar as possible. This Index makes no attempt to include names of palynomorphs, 

diatoms, bacteria, acritarchs, or dinoflagellates. 

The original aim of this supplement was to cover the years 

1974-1977, but RichardS. Cowan of the Botany Department, Smithsonian Institution, kindly made available to me unpublished manuscript 

volumes of the "Index Nomina Genericorum" (later published in 

November 1979). In this material, I found many fossil generic names 

not encountered elsewhere: therefore, the coverage of this index has 

been extended through 1978. In the Index, all names initially found in 

the Index Nomina Genericorum are noted by the letters "lNG" at the 

end of the citation; all entries taken either from quoted literature or 

lNG and not seen by the present compiler are preceded by asterisks. 

So that records of paleobotanical research may be kept as complete 

as possible in the Compendium Index, it is urgent that all 

paleobotanists contribute reprints or send notations of their publications to 

The Paleobotanical Library

2 INDEX OF GENERIC NAMES OF FOSSIL PLANTS, 1974-1978 

I have had considerable, much appreciated help in conjunction with 

the preparation of this supplement. The late Anna M. Blazer initiated 

the work, and Sergius H. Mamay generally supervised it. Francis M. 

Hueber, Smithsonian Institution, was always available for ,advice. 

RichardS. Cowan and Ellen Farr, also of the Smithsonian Institution, 

provided generous assistance through the lNG manuscript. The 

librarians of both the U.S. Geological Survey and Smithsonian Institution gave invaluable assistance in locating publications.
