50 MEMOIRS OF THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN 
cone scale of Sequoia gigantea Torr., in fig. 7, Pl. то, for compari- 
son, in order to illustrate their striking external contrast. Figure 
5 shows a somewhat lateral view so as to bring out the character of 
the slender stalk or peduncle rapidly expanding into the peltate disc. 
Figure 6 shows the characteristic tuberculate, rounded surface, with- 
out any median depression. 
Figure 5, Pl. 25, shows the internal structure of the species as seen 
in transverse section, X 12. Figure 1, Pl. 26, shows a view of a 
portion of the same section, X 40. The substance of the scale may 
be seen to be occupied by numerous irregularly disposed strands of 
sclerenchyma, interspersed in the meshwork of which are the fibro- 
vascular bundles. The intensely black cells which make up a large 
portion of the rest of the scale are for the most part cells surrounding 
resin canals. In the living Sequoia, a transverse section of the cone 
scale of which, X 8, is represented in fig. 6, Pl. 25, the bundles are 
arranged in a lower and an upper series and have not the scattered 
disposition shown in our fossil. Тһе numerous irregularly disposed 
bundles in the cone scales under discussion end in a cordon of trans- 
fusion tissue in the tubercles described above as ornamenting the flat- 
tened surface of the peltate expansions. The structure of these 
terminations of the fibrovascular strands of the cone scales suggests 
araucarineous affinities. 
Locality: Androvette pit. Collected by E. C. Jeffrey and Arthur 
Hollick. Specimens in ‘Jeffrey collection, Cambridge, Mass. 
Anomaspis hispida sp. nov.

Remains consisting of peltate cone scales, similar in external 
appearance to those of 7. tuberculata, except that the surface of the 
pelt is not tuberculate but is covered with rather minute hispid 
projections. 
The exterior of one of these scales, X ro, is shown in fig. 4, Pl. 
10. The internal structure does not differ materially from the spe- 
cies last described, but unfortunately in neither species are the tissues 
well preserved, so that it has not been possible to diagnose their 
structure very satisfactorily; but, so far as can be judged, their 
relationship with the Araucarineae may be assumed, at least pro- 
visionally. Cone axes of this species, X 10, are shown in figs. 8, 9,
