through the corrugated outer surface. This part of 

 the specimen was at one time in Mantell's collection. 

 Kentish Rag ; Iguanodon Quarry. Maidstone. 



Presented by W. H. Bensted, Esq., 1839, 

 4' Mantell Coll. 



V. 5506, Small fragments of pulverising wood, which tends to 

 break down to short lengths of tracheids, said to 

 belong to the " Dracaena Benstedi." So far as they go, 

 the scraps seem to agree with the wood in the large 

 specimens. Probably from the Kentish Hag ; Igua- 

 nodon Quarry, Maidstone. 



Collected 1868, probably by W. H. Bensted, E*q., 

 and transferred from the Botanical 



V. 13202. Original figured, PI. XIIL, fig. 2 ; PI. XIV, figs. 1 & 2. 

 Cast of the specimen in the Maidstone Museum. It 

 measures 20 cm. in length, and 12 x 4-5 cm. in trans- 

 verse section, being considerably compressed. It shows 

 the transverse corrugations very well, and also a 

 number of the small papillae which are noticeable in 

 the other specimens of the form. In this case the 

 identity of many of the papilla? with the casts of 

 borings is established, for within the upper hollowed- 

 out end they can be seen running vertically. This 

 specimen is also important, for it shows the base of a 

 lateral branch of coniferous character (see PI. XIV, 

 fig. 2). Kentish Rag ; Iguanodon Quarry, Maidstone. 



Made in the Museum, 1914.

 adjacent, to each other. Lower Green sand ; Woburn.
