„On Cheirostrobus, a new type of fossil cone from the 



calci ferous sandstone." 



The peduncle. 

 The first indication of the existence of the remarkable type of 

 fructification about to be described, was afforded by the study of 

 a specimen in the Williams on collection, from the well-known 

 fossiliferous deposit at Pettycour, near Burntisland, belonging to 

 the calciferous sandstone at the base of the carboniferous 

 formation. This specimen is a fragment of stem, of which seven 

 sections are preserved in the collection. 1 ) Its discoverer thought 

 it might possibly belong to the Lepidostrobus found in the same 



l ) The cabinet-numbers are 539 — 545.
