If one may hazard a conjecture, I should guess that theceramidia, as in Claudea, will be formed from contracted phyl-lodia ; and the tetraspores lodged in a single row, in the trust Mr. Cliftons future explorations of Garden Island maysatisfactorily solve this problem. Fig. 1. Cliftonia pectinata,—the natural size. 2. Fragment of a pliyllo-(lium, with a young one starting from its midrib. 3. Some of the cellulartissue from the lamina. 4. Frustule of one of the pectinate ramelli:—the latter figures variously magnified. Fh-jjbc.
