LIGNITES OF BRANDON, VERMONT 641 
When this center covering is removed, several valves become 
apparent, and when the specimen has been macerated in the pot- 
ash solution, may be very readily separated into six nearly equal 
valves, This shows that it can not possibly belong to either 
Hicoria or Juglans, for which, when still covered with the exocarp, 
it might be mistaken. 
In its decorticated condition this capsule bears a very strong 
resemblance to species of Cucumites detected in the London clay 
by Bowerbank, particularly the six-valved form of his C. varzadiles. 
It is also similar to what Lesquereux has called Apezbopsis, but all 
things considered it is probably best referred to the former genus. 
In view of the fact that the Carya globulosa was never actually 
published, it may be appropriate to name it in honor of Lesquereux 
Who first detected it, It may be called Cucumiites Lesquereuxit,
