mm. long. They consist of a slender petiolar basal portion 

 and an upper flattened lamina which forms about a right 

 angle to the stalk. This terminal lamina is somewhat roun- 

 dedly triangular in shape, with a diameter of about 2 mm. 

 The stalk appears to be attached to the inner surface of 

 the lamina, but near its lower margin. Numerous pollen-sacs 

 may be seen in some of the specimens. There would seem 

 to be several of them attached to each sporophyll, but the 

 number cannot be ascertained nor the manner in which they 

 are borne. The pollen-sacs are pear-shaped, with the point 

 of attachment at the narrow end. They are about 1 mm. 

 long or somewhat less. Their contents could not be examined. 



Carpolithus sp. 1. 



PI. 5, figs. 6, 7(?). 



Several specimens of seeds occur at Kurremölla. They 

 belong to different forms, which, however, are not well enough 

 characterized to be identified with previously known ones or 

 to be described as new species. They may be mentioned 

 under the generic name Carpolithus and designated by differ- 

 ent numbers. 



Of the form designated as sj). 1 only two specimens exist, 

 which are figured in pi. 5, figs. 6 and 7. The specimens are 

 rather different, and/ it is possible that they belong to dif- 

 ferent species. They have both the same ovoid shape, but 

 the one in fig. 6 is larger (12 mm. in length). A feature 

 common to both specimens is the occurrence of a distinct, 

 thinner border, or wing, running lengthwise round the seed. 

 The spotted aspect of the surface of the larger seed is of 

 accidental nature and due to some patches of the vegetabe 

 tissue being preserved. 



There is a certain resemblance between especially the 

 larger specimen and a seed described by Nathorst ^ from 

 the Rhaetic of Höganäs (younger) under the name of Car- 

 polithus cinctus. The material does not permit of an identi- 

 fication, however, neither with that species nor with any 

 other.
