Endocarp semiovate, sides tumid, ventral margin straight, dorsal margin much 

 inflated below, apex pointed mucronate terminal ; sculpture few very long pits curved 

 round a smooth depressed ventral area. 



Length 1.7 mm., breadth 1.1 mm. Brunssum. 



RUBUS Sp. 2. 

 PL IX, figs. 14, 15, 16. 



Endocarp ovate varying much in length, compressed laterally, ventral margin 

 gently curved, with a strong marginal rib, dorsal margin semicircular, apex pointed 

 nearly terminal but curved strongly to the ventral side ; sculpture deep irregular elongated 

 pits with a band of smaller pits round the dorsal margin. 



Length 1.5 to 2.5 mm., breadth 1.2 mm. Reuver, Brunssum? 



Unlike most of the Fruticosi (fig. 12) the point turns sharply towards the ventral 

 side ; but it is not recurved as in the Idaei, nor is the ventral margin incurved. 



This is the common Rubus of Reuver, and probably the Brunssum endocarp 

 (fig. 14) may be referred to the same species, though it is more regularly ovate, is more 

 rounded below, and the pits in that part are less drawn out. 



RUBUS Sp. 3 (cf. PUNGENS Cambess). 

 PI. IX, figs. 17, 18. 



In 1910 we figured* two badly preserved endocarps of Rubus found atTegelen. 

 These were of peculiar shape, but were too much decayed for description. From Reuver 

 we have now obtained a few better preserved and larger endocarps having the same 

 peculiar form and well*preserved surfaces. 



Endocarp • roundly ovate, with a prominent sharp beak curved to the ventral 

 side ; sculpture thick strong ridges running in various directions. 



Length 2.8 mm., breadth 2.1 mm. Tegelen, Reuver. 



This endocarp (fig. 17) seems to belong to the Asiatic section Pungentes, and we 

 figure Rubus pungens (fig. 19) as the nearest species we can find. This species, which 

 however does not quite agree with our fossil, ranges from Korea, and Japan, to West 

 Szechnan (at high levels), and the province of Hupeh in Western China. 



We figure a second specimen from Reuver (fig. 18) which is somewhat differ* 

 ently sculptured. It also belongs to the Pungentes, and it may be a different species. 



RUBUS Sp. 4. 



PI. IX, fig. 20. 



A single endocarp from Reuver seems to represent another section of the genus, 

 perhaps the Saxatiles.
