teutonica, and of which Uj^gek (Syllog. Plantarum, 23, pi. 9. figs. 1-8) and Ludwig 
(Paleeontogr. viii. p. 118, pi. 45. figs. 1-5, pi. 46. fig. 6) lately gave descriptions and 
drawings; it is a species which had a very wide range, and which I pointed out as 
occrming at Oeningen, in the brown coals of the Phon and at Schossnitz. The seed 
of the grape of Bovey is, however, smoother, comparatively wider and shorter ; more 
flattened on the dorsal part, and the little pits on the ventral surface are less deep ; while 
also the small wart (verruca) on the back is somewhat larger, for which reasons we 
must separate the seed of this grape as a different species. 
It is most obtusely rounded at the base, and terminates at the apex in a little short 
point; upon the dorsal part (fig. 29, six times magnified fig. 29 <^) it is only slightly 
convex; the chalazal tubercle (tuberculum chalazinum) is large and nearly circular; 
upon the ventral part (fig. 29 J, c) appears a rather prominent ridge, along the middle 
of which runs, as in Vitis teutonica, a delicate longitudinal stria; on each side of the 
ridge w'e observe a small pit (scrobicula), which, however, is much less deep than in 
Vitis teutonica. 
To this or the following species belong probably the grapes from the 17th bed of 
Bovey (figs. 27 & 28), which are very like those of Vitis teutonica. They are flattened, 
nearly circular fruits, in the interior of which no grains can be distinguished, as in those 
from the brown coals of Langenaubach (cf. Ludwig, 1. c. p. 120). 
Fig. 29 represents the dorsal surface of the seed; fig. 29 the ventral surface;

From the 26th bed of Bovey. 
Of this species I got two seeds, which belong probably to Vitis or Cissus ; but the 
chalazal tubercle is not distinct, and the consequent determination cannot be considered 
to be quite certain. These seeds are longer and comparatively narrower than those of 
the foregoing species ; on the ventral side we observ e the prominent ridge ; the pits on 
both sides are very flat and oblong ; the dorsal part is flattened. On one seed (the 
other is much compressed) we observe an oval tuberculum chalazinum, which appears, 
however, flat, imperfectly stamped out, and therefore indistinct.
