Mr. A. M. Bell of Oxford; it is 1-4 cm. in length, and tapers 

 gradually towards the apex. Each sporophyll, attached almost at 

 right angles to the axis, terminates distally in a peltate expansion. 

 A few oolitic grains occur in close association with the sporophylls, 

 and at first sight these might be mistaken for pollen-sacs. 



The specimen of a male flower figured by Phillips (Geol. Oxford, 

 Diag. xxxii.) is in the Oxford Museum.

of recent Cupressineae. The arrangement of the appressed leaves on 

 the main axis is by no means obviously spiral, but on the lateral 

 branches the leaves are clearly attached in pairs : those on the main 

 axis are longer than those on the smaller axes ; the smaller leaves 

 are triangular in form with free apices.
