wich is particulai'ly gregavious on Krichauff'-Range and James-Range ; 

 but E. Macdonnellü has narrower leaf-segments, at their basea not so 

 contiguous to the rachis , while neither the staminate nor the nut- 

 bearing scales are pungent, unless the uppermost; the former are also 

 much smaller, the whole antheriferous strobile being only about half 

 or three-quarters of an inch long. 



On this rare and grand plant the name of W. Thiselton Dyer, C. 

 M.G., M.A. , F.R.S. , is bestowed in particular recognition of his com- 

 prehensive researches on cycadeae, carried out by him in the great 

 Kew-Garden, of which he is the able Assistant-Director.J
