The pitting in connection with the medullary rays is 

 not preserved. 



Rims of Sanio not observed. 



It would appear that there is a close affinity between 

 the two specimens. A resemblance to the living genus 

 Gallitris is evident, but until further material and moi:e 

 data are available it seems inadvisable to definitely imply an 

 affinity with a particular existing genus purely on the evid- 

 ence of the wood. It seems, from the characters described 

 for both specimens, that they are best included under the 

 genus Mesem^rioxylon instituted by Professor Seward. '^^

Material from Yallourn, Gippsland, Victoria. 



Tiiis material is in a much better state of preservation and 

 exhibits several features of interest. 



Eleven different wood specimens from Yallourn have been 

 examined, but only sufficiently complete data have been 

 obtained to justify description of four. One Aiigiosperm 

 wavS recognizable, Mdiile the remainder were undoubtedly 

 Gymnosperms.
