below and shortly stalked; calyx closely and irregularly striate, limb spreading; exposed 

 part of fruit covered with small oblong irregularly radiating cells. 



Length 1.4 mm., breadth 1.5 mm. Reuver. 



Externally this fruit somewhat resembles Maesa; but on opening one of the two 

 specimens it showed apparently a number of parietal placentas extending nearly to the 

 centre. The structure however is too obscure for us to feel confident, and the fruit must 

 wait further material. Externally there is no sign that the fruit is capsular or dehiscent. 



CARPOLITHES Sp. 3. 



PI. XVIII, figs. 1 a-d. 



A pyrene or seed, hard bony irregularly facetted, apex pointed, attachment 

 basal; splitting lengthways (in germination?) into 2 unequal valves. 



Length 4.2 mm., breadth 2.0 mm. Reuver. 



CARPOLITHES Sp. 4. 



PI. XVIII, figs. 2 a, b. 



Coccus coriaceous semiovate; aperture ventral, close to base; with wingslike 

 process attached a short distance below apex at the ventral angle. 



Length 2.2 mm., breadth 1.0 mm. Brunssum. 



One of several cocci. 



CARPOLITHES Sp. 5. 



PI. XVIII, fig. 3. 



Pyrene small oblong, flattened dorsally; style on ventral face just below apex. 

 Length 3.1 mm., breadth 1.3 mm. Reuver. 



Possibly an abnormal pyrene of Cotoneaster. 



CARPOLITHES Sp. 6. 

 PI. XVIII, fig. 4. 



Fruit coriaceous, oblong compressed; narrowly margined at upper end and con* 

 tinued into a stiff winged style; outside faintly irregularly striate; interior, of which a 

 small part is seen, shining, strongly and closely striate longitudinally. Base missing. 



Length 7.5+mm., breadth 4.0 mm. Reuver. 



CARPOLITHES Sp. 7. 



PI. XVIII, fig. 5. 



The two fragments were found in the same batch of washed material, and appar* 

 ently belong together ; but the edges do not exactly fit, and we cannot be certain that 

 they belong to the same fruit.
