Length 19 mm., width 19*5 mm. Age. Middle Eocene. Locality. Duiley Chine, Bournemouth. Type V. 15865 (specimen with counterpart), (Nat. Hist.). Affinities.—It is possible to limit comparison to three living genera of the Abietinese—Abies, Picea, and Pseudo- tsuga. The fossil cone-scale is slightly broader than long, hence the genus Pinus is excluded, since the ovuliferous scales of Pinus are oblong or strap-shaped. Larix, Cedrus, and Tsuga have symmetrical scales and no sinus. The asymmetry, which is well marked in the fossil, is a common.
