Paleobotany. 228 LYCOPODIALES [CH. seen in fig. 204; this is doubtless the expression of a shrinkage of the middle cortical region, which was composed of a delicate and lacunar system of cells. There can be no reasonable doubt that Stigmaria grew in water or in swampy gTound. Specimens are occasionally met with in which the cast terminates in a bluntly rounded apex ; such are, perhaps, young branches which have not- grown far from the base of the aerial stem from which they arose (cf fig. 207, B, C). Other examples occur, such as Goeppert'
