CALLITRITES

Callitris Brongniarti from Miocene beds in Euboea, but Saporta 1 

 considers these impressions to be more closely allied to Widdring- 

 tonia and renames them Widdringtonia kumensis. Good examples 

 of quadrivalvate cones (fig. 762, B) are figured by Saporta 2 from 

 the Eocene beds of Aix and Armissan in Provence, showing in some 

 cases two outer broader valves and two internal laterally com- 

 pressed valves. Ettingshausen 3 states that the species is very 

 abundant at Haring in the Tyrol: that author describes some

sterile shoots from Eocene beds in New South Wales as Callitris 

 prisca* which he compares with C. Brongniarti. Well preserved 

 shoots are described by Watelet 5 from the Paris Basin. Engel- 

 hardt 6 records the species from Oligocene beds in Bohemia but on 

 the inadequate evidence of a winged seed; it is recorded also by 

 Engelhardt and Kinkelin 7 from the Pliocene beds of the Frankfurt
