Abstract

One of the most striking objects exhibited in the Gallery of Fossil Plant remains in the Geological Department of the British Museum (Natural History) is a large trunk of a Coniferous tree from Tasmania, of which a photograph is reproduced on Plate I. This specimen is one of the largest in the gallery, being nearly nine feet in height, and three feet in diameter. The woody tissues are in excellent preservation, the specimen being silicified, and in part opalized.
