Several species. Not in the Reid 

 Collection. 



In various stages of preservation, 

 seen in the recent specimens 

 after treatment by boiling and 

 then rubbing to a varying ex- 

 tent, in order to simulate the 

 conditions of fossil ization. 



The fossil had all the characters 

 of Papaver alpinum, but was 

 slightlj' larger than seeds of that 

 species from the onlj^ gathering 

 in the Reid Collection. 



Not in the Reid Collection. 



The outer skin of the seed had 

 perished during fossilization. 



Not in the Reid Collection. 



The seed broke after identifica- 

 tion, the remains were mounted 

 and deposited with the other 

 specimens in the Sedgwick Mu- , 

 seum . : 



Preservation good, but the species 

 was not represented in the Reid 

 Collection. 



Not in the Reid Collection. 



The characters of this species 

 were found scattered throughout 

 the genus Geranitim. Species 

 not in the Reid Collection. 



Carpel. Nearest to G.sanguineum. 

 but smaller than that species. 

 Not in the Reid Collection. 



The thin prolongation seen on 

 one side in the recent seed is 

 broken in the fossil, probably 

 a natural result of fossilization. 



Hairs (or their bases) preserved 

 at the broad end of the seed.
