V. 13203. A good-sized block (12 x 10x7 cm.), smoothly cut 

 on three sides and externally showing parts of broken 

 and weathered leaf-bases and mineral matrix. The 

 cut faces expose the stem, with its pith and vascular 

 cylinder, and the large leaf-bases (up to 7 cm.) in 

 various obliquely longitudinal sections. 



V. 13204. A second piece (12x13x8 cm.) very similar to the 

 above. 



Slides V. 13205 and 13^06 cut from the last two blocks. 



All the above have been transferred from the Botanical Dept. 

 and are part of the type-specimen. 



The following slides have just been cut from a fragment of 

 the type at Kew, recently transferred to the Geol. Dept. of the 

 Museum. They will be described by Prof, fteward : 



V. 13237 a. Incomplete oblique section of cone, showing about 

 a dozen seeds cut in various directions, a number of 

 obliquely cut seed-stalks, ramenta, and parts of scales. 



V. 13237 b. A much disintegrated section, but one which shows 

 particularly well the shape and tissues of the cone- 

 receptacle with the attachment of the seed- stalks 

 and interseminal scales, cut longitudinally, -slightly 

 oblique. 



V. 13237 C. Oblique section of a few seeds and scales, the seeds 

 having their testal tissues and the embryonic tissues 

 particularly well preserved. 



V. 13237 d. Transverse section of a small part of the main 

 axis showing wood and leaf-traces, very beautifully 

 preserved. 



V. 13237 e, f. Two smaller and much less perfect fragments of 

 the above.

 of which are rather broken and macerated.
