of the superior series, which probably represents the ovular supply. 
Figure 3, Pl. 27, illustrates, in similar section and magnification, the 
structure of one of the bundles of the lower series which is almost 
surrounded by a transfusion tissue, the tracheary cells appearing as 
small elements in the center of the larger transfusion cells. In the 
case of this species of scale again we have in all probability to do 
with part of an araucarıneous female cone. Оп account of its 
superficial resemblance to the cone scales of Pinus we have given it 
the generic name Pityoidolepis and have indicated its place of dis- 
covery in the specific name. We have found not a few fragments 
of flattened cones made up of scales of this species, which would in 
all probability, in impressions, be taken for cones of Pinus.

This type of wood, found in the Androvette pit, we have not yet 
been able to definitely connect with any of the associated leafy twigs; 
but we have reasons for suspecting that it may represent the wood of 
Czekanowskia. It is clearly, however, an araucarineous conifer, as 
demonstrated by its internal structure and hence if the reference to 
Czekanowskia should turn out to be correct, this latter genus would 
have to be placed in the Araucarineae instead of in the Gingkoales, 
where it is generally considered to belong. The species is fully 
described and illustrated in the paper above cited, and any further 
discussion of its characters does not seem necessary.
