Three sections in series with those of figure 5. The upper transverse sec- 

 tion No. 756 passes at a distance of 8 to 12 mm above S. 757, figure 5 ; and 

 the two lower longitudinal sections 726 and 7 lie between S. 757 and S. 756 

 at exactly right angles to each other as marked. Each of these sections 

 traverses the basal part of an ovulate strobilus in which the young seeds 

 are fairly distinct, and may even approach full size ; though fertilization is 

 not thought to have occurred. — S. No. 756 and the preceding SS. of fig. 5 

 are shown x 7/8, and SS. 726, 7 are x 2 nearly.
