good, if not better results, and the material was considerably bleached. 
The usual methods of dehydrating and embedding in paraffin were employed. 
Sections were cut five and ten micra thick, and stained with Haidenhain’s

The writer desires to express his gratitude to the committee on 
administration of the Frederick Sheldon Fund for Travelling Fellowships of 
Harvard University ; to the many friends in New Zealand and Australia 
whose kind assistance made possible the securing of much of the material 
used in the present memoir ; to Mr. E. W. Sinnott, co-worker in field and 
laboratory ; and to Professor E. C. Jeffrey, whose advice and guidance have 
been invaluable. He likewise owes much information, valuable in the 
present connexion, to a collection of araucarian Conifers forwarded through 
the kindness of the late Dr. M. Treub, Director of the Botanic Gardens at 
Buitenzorg, Java. The investigation has been carried on in the Phanero- 
gamic Laboratories of Harvard University.
