Peach. The rachis has a length of 27 cm., and the pinnse, which are attached to the axis at right angles, have an average length of 4 cm. and a breadth of from 2 to 3 mm. In some of the pinnae there appear to be indications of a midrib, but the preservation is not sufficiently good to enable one to state con- fidently that the frond is a true Cycadites. Wansford.
