of this specimen will allow us to judge, five daughter-axes, at least, 
must have been terminally arranged around a central space and 
further subdivisions of these axes occurred by successive dicho- 
tomies at identical levels in one plane only. The corymbose nature 
of this branch system is particularly obvious and, in the absence 
of positive evidence to the contrary, strengthens the possibility 
that the fossil represents a fructification closely similar to that of 
H. corymbosa.

Hedeia cf. corymbosa. Tracings made from photographs of 
specimen С. 102 and the counterpart of its distal region, <5. 
Recently, branch-systems of the Hedeia type were discovered 
by Mr. E. D. Gill, Palaeontologist of the National Museum, Vie- 
toria, at a Yeringian locality situated at the right-angled turn 
in Albert Hill Road, Lilydale. I am indebted to Mr. Gill for 
permission to record this occurrence. 
As was the ease with the Hull Road material, both the nature 
and form of the ultimate ramifications of the individual branch- 
systems from this locality is uncertain and again the only suitable
