walled idioblasts and large resin-canals; in some cases there is a superficial periderm 
and the parenchymatous tissue next the lower surface may assume a short palisade 
form. A single series of collateral vascular bundles traverses the scales in a radial 
direction and there are indications of the occurrence of concentric steles in the basal 
portions of some scales. The seeds, the number of which has not been determined,

lie on the upper surface of the scales in a depression near the proximal end, and 
there is a ligular outgrowth close to the abaxial end of the seeds.

This smallest cone (approximately 3 cm. x2°5 cm.), represented natural size in 
text-fig. 2, B, bears a comparatively small number of scales attached to a very imper- 
fectly preserved axis with a small-celled parenchymatous pith surrounded by a 
partially destroyed xylem cylinder. ‘The apical scale (text-fig. 2, B) illustrates the close 
resemblance in shape between the appendages of this cone and the detached scales

and Jurrrey*t the type of the genus Protodammara. On this scale, 1°3 x 1 em., is an 
oval, slightly projecting body, s, at first sight thought to be a seed, but which is in 
all probability a piece of crystalline material filling a space in the substance of the
