THE last of many nc; table contributions to Fossil Botany by Adolphe Bron, &art was a general account of the morphology of a large series of silicified seeds from the pebbles of Grand'Croix, near St. Etieune. Originally published in 1874*, this contribution was re-issued in 1881 with numerous beautiful plates some years after his death as a memorial volume?. Of seeds having what may be termed a Cycadean organisation, Brongniart enumerates seventeen genera, a number which has been increased since. In the years that have elapsed since Brongniart's time many of these forms have been elaborated in greater detail by his followers, especially Renault, and in rare instances it has been possible to produce adequate evidence for referring a certain number to the plants to which they belonged. To this day the great bulk of the French seeds found in the later Palzozoic rocks, as also t'he less numerous forms from the English Coal-Measures, are known as detached structures, and their real affinity is a matter of conjecture. Notwithstanding this limitation, that we know these seeds only as detached structures, so important a portion of the plant is the seed that a detailed knowledge of the organisation of fossil seeds cannot fail to be a useful adjunct in unravelling the intricate phylogenetic history of recent plants. It mas in connection with one of these fossils-Xte~ hccnos~ e~ m~~-tliat Brongniart
