Paleontologic correlation must be guided by principles, some of which are stated here, derived from a study of living organisms and their distribution. In application of these principles, nine floral zones in the Arcto-Carboniferous province of Pennsylvanian floras are considered. The floras included are all lowland, warm-climate, rain forest assemblages. In the Rocky Mountain area certain floral types appear that are thought to represent upland floras. In the Antarcto-Carboniferous province the Pennsylvanian floras differ greatly in the main and are believed to represent coal-climate, rain forest assemblages. A few representatives of these assemblages are considered, and a few Arcto-Carboniferous elements present are regarded as immigrants during an epoch of milder climate.
