Other examples resemble the female flowers of Ginkgo {e.g. 

 Plate 8, figs. 6, 7). These have a stalk bearing two seeds somewhat 

 similar to the two ovules of the female flower of Ginkgo biloha}'^ 

 Specimens of the individual seeds show a scar at one end similar to 

 that figured by the same authors. ^^ 



That many of these seeds had a thick, fleshy, outer coat is 

 indicated by the -\\Tinkled appearance of the surface in many 

 cases. 



Some examples {e.g. Plate 8, fig. 8) are similar to Carpolithes 

 sp. A, described from the Jurassic rocks of Victoria. ^^ 



In none of these specimens is there any indication of any 

 connection with foliage, so it is not possible to be certain of their 

 exact relations. 



Locahty : — {Ipswich Series) : Denmark Hill, Ipswich. 



Figured specimens : The originals of Plate 8, figs. 6, 7, 9, and 

 8, are specimens F 106, F 115, and F 103 in the collection of the

Numerous examples of long narrow linear leaves from the 

 Walloon Series in the Esk district may be compared A\'ith this species. 

 These leaves attain a length of about 15 cm. (probably about 20 cm. 

 when complete) and have a breadth up to 1-4 cm. ; they narrow 

 gradually towards one end (which seems to be the basal end), 

 where they are about 6 mm. wide. There is also a less gradual 

 narrowing towards the apex from the widest part, the apex being 

 bluntly acute. A number of veins are present and are about 

 1 mm. apart in the widest part. They are simple, not branching 

 dichotomously.
