Obs . — The scales of the cone here figured, Figs. 36 and 37, belong to 
Dammar a, which, like those of Araucaria , easily loosen upon ripening* 
They are short, cuneate, on their upper margin as broad as long, somewhat 
inflated or thick, and almost truncate, but on the flat side diveringly and 
thinly striate. Their margins are nonserrate. The leaves, Figs. 34, 35, and 
38, belong also, I entertain no doubt, to Dammar a. They are varyingly oval 
and lineal-lanceolate, narrowing upwards to a short sometimes obtuse apex, 
and downwards to the short and thick jtetiole. The lamina is thinly striate 
along its length ; a middle rib is wanting, but the stripes are not quite equally 
thin (see Fig. 35 a, magnified). Doubtless the leaves figured here, though 
varying in some degree in size and form, belong to one and the same species* 
being united by some transitory forms. The smallest leaf, Fig. 34, is fifty- 
seven millimeters long and 12 millimeters broad. We find similar leaves in 
Dammar a robusta, Moore, which have also a short petiole. Respecting the 
scales of the cone which arc smaller than those of the species named, our 
species agrees more with Dammar a australis, Lamb., their leaves, however, 
being unpetiolatc, and scarcely reach the above-mentioned size. Both the 
species mentioned are living in Australia, and the fossil, intermediate in its 
character, may be their ancestor.

Sp. Char . — D. foliis rigidc coriaceis, lineari-lanceolatis, utrinque 
angustatis, basi in petiolum crassum attenuatis, tenuiter striatis. 
Obs. — Differs from the preceding species by narrower and longer 
leaves, a thicker petiole and a more thinly striate lamina ; further, from other 
similar Cycadaceous leaves, for instance Podozamia, by the peculiar type of 
nervation, seen in the broad-leafed coniferte.
