CRETACEOUS CONIFERALES 49 
ing upper part of the cone scale ends to the right in a minute pit, 
which marks the point of attachment of the median ovule. Passing 
downwardly to the right of this pit may be seen a dark stripe, the 
fibrovascular supply of the ovule. Below the projecting convexity 
of the upper surface of the scales are to be seen stone cells in the 
substance of the scale. Lower down still is a dark somewhat 
upwardly concave stripe, which is one of the fibrovascular bundles 
of the lower series. It is jacketed above and below with transfusion 
tissue. Below the transfusion tissue is the large central resin canal 
of the cone scale. The lower surface of the scale ends in a free 
surface or apophysis, the inferior limit of which is indicated by a 
marked depression. Figure 4, Pl. 14, shows another longitudinal 
section of the same scale, X 40, in a somewhat different plane. In 
this case the ovular depression can still be seen on the upper surface. 
The central resin canal of the scale is to be seen passing out into the 
base of the terminal spine. 
Figure 1, Pl. 16, shows another approximately median plane of 
longitudinal section, X 30, in which the median resin canal is seen 
to have passed out into the terminal spine. The figure in this case 
Is inverted to save space.

Plate xo, figs. 5, 6; Pl. 25, fig. 5; Pl. 26, fig. 1 
Remains consisting of peltate cone scales, irregularly pentagonal 
(?) in outline; pelt without any median depression, surface flat or 
somewhat rounded, covered with polygonal tubercles; stalk slender 
below, rapidly expanding into the pelt above; substance of the scale 
occupied by numerous irregularly disposed strands of sclerenchyma, 
in the meshwork of which are the fibrovascular bundles; bundles 
irregularly disposed, ending in a cordon of transfusion tissue in the 
tubercles. 
In addition to the cone scales previously described, several other 
types were found in the material from the Androvette pit. Super- 
.ficial views, X 10, of the one now under discussion, are shown in 
figs. 5, 6, Pl. 10, together with a similarly magnified figure of a small
