8 ON GYMNOSPERMATOUS FRUITS 
8. C. Brunonis. Scales twice as broad as they are deep. (Plate LVII. 
Fig. 4 and 5.) 
The single specimen of this species is a fragment from the base of a 
large cone. It is from the collection of the late Robert Brown. The 
fragment is two inches in diameter. The very broad scales easily sepa- 
rate it from the other species. 
Locality unknown. 
9. (?)Zamia crassa, Lindl. and Hutt. Foss. Flor. t. 136. This is 
probably a Cycadean cone. The authors of the ' Fossil Flora ' describe 
it as having "in transverse section numerous seeds lying below the 
thickened ends of the scales at a considerable distance from the thick 
axis." It is too imperfect to decide positively as to its affinities.

I have examined four cones of this species, one belonging to G. 
Dowker, Esq., one to N. T. Wetherell, Esq., and the others* in the 
collection of the British Museum. 
The cone is cylindrical in shape, very slightly tapering upwards, 
and obtuse at both extremities. 
(Henslow) 
nearly 6 inches (Dowker) in length, and almost 2£ inches across. The 
axis is about a quarter of an inch in diameter. The scales are broad 
and sessile. They leave the axis almost at a right angle, and just out- 
side the seed they bend sharply upwards, continuing with a slightly 
outward direction until they approach the surface, where they swell 
into the large thickened apophyses or hexagonal apices. These having 
the appearance externally of being valvate, give the cone a Cycadean 
aspect ; but they scarcely differ from those of Pinus Pinea, L. Indeed, 
in the form, size, and arrangement of the apophyses, this species re-
