Excerpt from Observations on New Vegetable Fossils of the Auriferous Drifts The whole material, on which the description and also Major Shepherd's drawing are founded, consists of two specimens of the fruit solely. As may be noted from the lithographic illustration, these fruits measure fully 2 inches across, and rather more in length. The average thickness of the pericarp is inch; but where it passes into the cavity and penetrates the seed its width attains to 1 inch. The seed, though closely pressed into the cavity, seems free, except at one extremity; but as no remnant of the fruit-stalk or its cicatrix remains observable on the specimens hitherto gathered, the position of the seed, whether erect or inverse.
