(After Christ & Giesenhagen.) the contraction of thinner walled cells surrounded by firmer tissue. The number of spores produced in each loculus is approx- imately 1750 for Danaa, 7500 for Kaulfussia, 2500 for Marat- tia, and 1450 for Angiopteris. Bower's account and figures of Angiopteris differ from the specimens examined by the writer in the greater thickness of.
