thickened recurved apophyses, the form of which cannot clearly 

 be made out, though they appear to have been narrow, keeled, 

 and mucronate." 



HOKIZOX. Lower Greensand (?), probably derived Weulden. 



LOCALITY. Potton. 



TYPE. Sedg wick Museum, Cambridge. 



The illustration of the species given by Gardner is reproduced 

 in text-fig. 37, from which it will be judged that, beyond 

 establishing its Pwws-like nature, little can be made of the 

 fossil. 



Pinostrobus sp. [indet.]. ? Cf. Pinus longissima, 

 Velenovsky.

The specimen in the Kentish Bag, as can be judged from 

 text-fig. 38, is not well enough preserved to allow of its diagnosis 

 as a new species. It can only be compared provisionally with 

 the Bohemian specimen, for the important characters, such as 

 the shape and type of edge to the scale, the size and character 

 of the seeds, etc., are not preserved. The British fossil is, 

 however, very slender, and was apparently much longer than 

 the upper part of it now preserved, and it is more like P. lon- 

 gissima than any other described cone of approximately the 

 same age. Pinites Dunkeri, with which it might also be 

 compared, is larger in diameter than the Lower Greensand form 

 and is of Wealden age. 



1771. Text-fig. 38. The part of the specimen preserved is 

 9-5 cm. long by 2 cm. in diameter, and appears to be 

 only the upper part of a much longer cone. It lies 

 partly embedded in the matrix, so that the outer 

 surfaces of the scales are concealed. It is broken 

 through the middle irregularly, and shows fragments 

 of broken scales and seeds, and part of the poorly 

 preserved axis in the upper end (see text-fig. 38).
