DESCRIPTION or THE Sl'EClES. 267 



Cakpolitiils A(;glomekatus, ssp. iiov. 



Plate C'XXXIV, Fif,'. 5. 



Seed small, globular in torni, smooth, nut-like, crowded together 

 closely into a species of head, which is sessile, or borne on very short 

 pedicels, and carried on short lateral branches. 



Locality: Fredericksburg. 



These seeds are very rare. They probaljly belong to some s})ecies of 

 Baieropsis, and, as the most abundant and indeed almost the only species 

 of this genus occurring at that place is 1>. cxpaii^a, these seed may belong 

 to it. They are a good deal smaller than those of the preceding species. 

 Owing to the close crowding and the very short pedicels, some of these 

 forms appear united at base, as in C. ternatus. 



Carpolithus conjugatus, sp. nov. 



Pliito ex XXIV, Fig. 11. 



Fruit apparently composed of a wliorl made of three pairs of nut- 

 like seeds united near their bases and of a single one radiating from a 

 central point, probably the summit of a pedicel ; the component nut-like 

 seed are obovate, obtuse, and rounded at the free ends, narrowed to a 

 sort of neck at the place of union, marked by transverse striic or wrinkles, 

 which run around the bodies. 



Locality : Fredericksburg. 



Only one specimen was found. As it is quite possible that this is dis- 

 torted by pressure, it may be much disguised, at least in the groujiing of 

 the seed-like bodies. I am unable to oifer even a conjecture as to the true 

 place of this group of bodies. 



Carpolithus geminatus, sp. nov. 



Plate CXXXIV, V\g. 10. 



Seed of medium size, ellijjtical or obovate, smooth, nut-like, and firm, 

 in pairs at the sunnnit of a very short pedicel, almost sessile. 



Locality: Fishing hut above Dutch Gap Canal. 



Only one specimen was found. The left-hand nutlet of the pair has 

 had its sunnnit removed by accident, and hence does not present the true
