wrinkled on its surface, and above its middle circumscissile. The operculum 
is smooth. This fruit resembles those of several Amaranthacece, which are 
operculate. 
Locality and Horizon. — Newstead, near Elsmore; in concretionary 
ironstone (earthy limonite), associated with basalt. 
Carpolithes pygeoides, sp. 710 V. 
Plate XY, Fig. 33. 
Sp. Char. — C. fructu transverse oblongo, subreniformi, medio con- 
tracto, superficie tenuissime granuloso. 
Ohs. — A transversely oblong fruit, being somewhat contracted at its 
middle, and consequently almost reniform. The surface is finely granulous. 
This fossil reminds us of the fruit-stone of Pygeum, a genus of the Amygdalese 
inhabiting tropical Asia. 
Locality and Hoi'izon. — With the preceding species. 
Carpolithes morisoniteformis, sp. 7iov. 
Plate XY, Figs. 34, 35. 
Sp. Char. — C. seminibus (?) compresso-reniformibus, lsevibus. 
Ohs. — A peculiar fruit being compressed-reniform. It offers some 
likeness to the seeds of Moi'isonia which are embedded in the pulp of a bacca. 
Its surface is perfectly smooth. Morisonia is one of the Capparidece inhabiting 
the Antilles. 
Locality and Horizon. — With the preceding species. 
Carpolithes wetherellioides, sp. 7iov. 
Plate XV, Figs. 3G, 37. 
Sp. Char. — C. fructu 7-loculari, subgloboso, circa 5 mm lato. 
Ohs. — A fruit somewhat compressed from the surface, orbicular in its 
transverse section, containing seven cells. It shows some resemblance to 
Wetherellia , but it is much smaller than the fruits of the latter genus of the 
Eocene Elora of Sheppey. Eig. 36 represents the side view, and Eig. 37 the 
end view of the fruit. 
Locality and Horizon. — With the preceding species.
