II.—On Cycadoidea Yatesii, a Fossil Cycadean Stem from the Potton Sands, Bedfordshire

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

When examining the collections of the Geological Society at the time of preparing the notes I published some months ago, on the Fossil Cones of the Secondary Strata, I found a small fragment of a curious vegetable organism, the nature of which I was then unable to determine, but which I was allowed by the kindness of the Secretary to take with me for the purpose of further examination. Some months ago I obtained from James Yates, Esq., a more perfect specimen, which clearly showed that it was the portion of the stem of a cycadean plant, as Mr. Yates had already determined. Professor Church subsequently brought me a yet finer specimen from the Museum of the Royal Agricultural College at Cirencester, and I have a fourth fragment from the collection of Professor Morris.
