CALLITEITES 



341 



Callitris Brongniarii from Miocene beds in Euboea, but Saporta^ 

 considers these impressions to be more closely allied to Widdring- 

 tonia and renames them Widdringtonia kumensis. Good examples 

 of quadrivalvate cones (fig. 762, B) are figured by Saporta^ from 

 the Eocene beds of Aix and Armissan in Provence, showing in some 

 cases two outer broader valves and two internal laterally com- 

 pressed valves. Ettingshausen* states that the species is very 

 abundant at Haring in the Tyrol: that author describes some 



Via. 762. A, A', B, Callitrites Brongniarii. C, Callitrites helvetica. D, CalUtrites 

 europaea. (A, A', after Unger; B, after Saporta; C, after Heer; D, after 

 Engelhardt and Kinkelin.) 



sterile shoots from Eocene beds in New South Wales as Callitris 

 prisca* which he compares with C. Brongniarii. Well preserved 

 shoots are described by Watelet^ from the Paris Basin. Engel- 

 hardt^ records the species from OUgocene beds in Bohemia but on 

 the inadequate evidence of a, winged seed; it is recorded also by 

 Engelhardt and Kinkehn' from the Pliocene beds of the Frankfurt
