Fruit coriaceous, very thin and fragile, flattened, oblong or elongate*ovate; surface 

 near the base covered with close thread-like flattened striae; stalk short; style long and 

 slender. 



Length 10.0 mm., breadth 3.5 mm. Reuver. 



CARPOLITHES Sp. 8. 



PL XVIII, fig. 6. 



Endocarp l*seeded, bony, ovate compressed, splitting at the edge into 2 valves; 



attachment basal, canal passing obliquely upward and entering cavity at about -| distance 



from base. Interior (adherent testa?) closely striate transversely, striae (elongated cells) 



arranged in fascicles varying in direction. 



Length 4.5 mm., breadth 2.5 mm. Reuver. 



CARPOLITHES Sp. 9. 

 PI. XVIII, fig. 7. 

 Seed oval, compressed dorsally, testa hard, grooved asymmetrically on the ventral 

 face; hilum at upper end of groove; micropyle at lower end of groove; embryo appar* 

 ently coiled laterally. 



Length 3.5 mm., breadth 2.5 mm. Swalmen. 



CARPOLITHES Sp. 10. 

 PL XVIII, fig. 8. 

 Seed roundedsjquadrate flattened plano-convex; attached in the middle of the 

 straight edge; surface with minute hexagonal pits. 



Length 7 mm., breadth 6 mm. Swalmen. 



We have two of these seeds, which greatly resemble the planoconvex seeds of Wis* 



tana; but they do not show the testa. If they are only cotyledons the seed must be biconvex. 



CARPOLITHES Sp. 11. 

 PI. XVIII, figs. 9 a, b. 

 Endocarp triangular, with wide flat prominent pedicel; opening in 2 valves 

 which curl backward; exterior with small cells elongate in direction of axis; interior 

 covered with fine nodose longitudinal striae. 



Length 2 mm., breadth near base 2 mm. Reuver. 



CARPOLITHES Sp. 12. 

 PI. XVIII, figs. 10 a, b. 

 Seed large irregularly dented and facetted; testa very hard and thick, surface 

 brown closely dotted with flattened black granules; texture bony with outer cells 

 elongate radially; interior rough. 



Length 6+ mm., breadth 10+ mm. Brunssum.
