TRIASSIC FLORA OF BALL HILL. 
DescrijMon . — This type of small seed-like body is quite abundant 
in. the red ironstone shale of the Schizoneura bed. On one slab, 
from which the figure was taken, J counted eight separate specimens. 
This seed must have had a thin hut evidently tenacious covering, 
and the shrinkage of the mud during its consolidation caused the 
seeds to be now easily detached. Remains of Schizormirn are 
commonly associated in the slab examined. The seeds are very 
minute and average about .5mm. in their longest diameter. They 
are sub-ovate, depressed and slightly hollowed on one side, as if 
indicating a place of slight attachment. The surface is finely reticu- 
lated with a polygonal meshwork. 
FOSSIL WOOL), indeterminate. 
Rlate Xm., fig. 42. 
An interesting, though rather unsatisfactory specimen as regards 
preservation, is found in this series, ft has a wrinkled and fibrous 
structure, and the exposed surface is seen to be ])artially covered 
with small barnacle-like bodies. After sifting the evidence, one 
has to conclude that this latter structure is inorganic and may 
be referred to the cone-in-cone structure so often found in mud- 
stones originally rich in calcareous matter. Tn this specimen the 
weathering of the cones, gives the further illusion of sejiarate valves 
closely fitting together. 
The specimen of fossil wood measures about 12cm. in length 
and 4cm. in the Avidest part. The cones have a height of about 
7 mm.
