Abstract
has already given excellent descriptions accompanied with drawings, of the Brandon fruits and most satisfactory details concerning the strata with which they are connected.I owe to the celebrated Professor of Amherst College not only the communication of the original specimens from which the drawings have been made, but also a number of corresponding specimens that he had the kindness to present to me.lt cannot be expected that the examination I have been requested to make of these fruits can afford any exact botanical determinations.Indeed an accurate analysis of fossil plants is mostly impossible, their form being generally more or less obliterated and the preserved part, the hardest of course, being often of slight value, as a botanical character.By cutting a few specimens, I was enabled to find some details of anatomical structure in one of the species only, and thus to mark its botanical characters somewhat more accurately than it is generally done for fossil fruits.It is then only to point out the relation of some of the Brandon fruits with fossil species found elsewhere, or with genera of plants still living, and especially to try to come to a satisfactory understanding about the geological age of the lignite deposit where they are found, that the few following remarks are made:* To facilitate further quotations and discussions about the Brandon fruits, I think that it is also convenient to give a short description of their essential characters and to name them.* The numbers marked in this paper correspond with those of the still unedited report of Vermont by Prof. Ed.Hitchcock.As they are not the same as some of the Journal, (loc.cit.) it is necessary to correlate them.This Jour., Fig. 1 is equivalent to Fig. III to 11'1 of the Report.
