PL LXXXVII, Fig. Ill, 3 represents the side of the Clark trunk, Nos. 

 1659 and 1659a, more fully illustrated and described below. 



PL LXXXVII, Fig. Ill, 10 shows the flat top of the M. A. Donaldson 

 trunk or "basket stone," W. C, B., No. 1471. 



This is a nearly perfect, vertically much flattened trunk of nearly 

 circular outline, but from one side of which a segment has been broken 

 along a vertical plane, but quite irregularly. There is a depression at the 

 base 13 cm. in diameter and 5 cm. deep. It is nearly flat across the top 

 but very irregular and rough, caused by numerous depressions and pro- 

 tuberances. Considerably to one side of the center is a terminal bud, 

 but it has suffered much from decay and now presents a jagged and 

 fluted appearance. It is perforated with numerous tubes, some of which 

 are cylindrical. They are the scars of the small leaves or perulse of which 

 the bud mainly consisted. Around its base in a circular depression are 

 other larger ones. The specimen has been cut through the center by a 

 vertical section at right angles to the fracture, and the surfaces polished. 

 The section falls entirely on one side of the terminal bud. 



The specimen is of a reddish color, well silicified and moderately 

 hard and heavy. The diameter measured through the terminal bud and
