Sinnoit , — The Morphology of the 
living Phyllocladus and that of the fossil Stachyotaxus indicate possible 
steps by which the taxinean evolution may have taken place. 
The writer wishes to thank most heartily his many friends in the 
several Botanic Gardens, in various other departments of the public service, 
and elsewhere throughout Australia and New Zealand for their active assis- 
tance in securing material, and he is especially indebted to Mr. T. F. 
Cheeseman, F.L.S., F.Z.S., of the Auckland Museum, for invaluable aid as 
to localities and identifications. This investigation was carried on in the 
Phanerogamic Laboratories of Harvard University.
