The author describes this fossil tree as lying at an angle of sixty degrees and a half, with its direction between S. E. by E. 10°, and N. W. by W. 10°, The strata in which it is imbedded dip at an angle of 20° towards the S. E. This tree differs from that which was found in the same quarry in 1830, in being much less flattened, indeed nearly cylindrical; and this difference appears to be accounted for by its almost vertical position, in consequence of which, the pressure of the surrounding medium would act in an equal degree all round the stem.
