Fig. 10, 11. Two species of Beans, very apparent.
Fig. 12. Unknown. This, however, appears to be a fruit, with the calyx running up, and embracing it, in its hard green state; being somewhat compressed on the upper part, as it lay confined in the earth.
Fig. 13. An Staphilodendri species? The learned and reverend Dr. Hales gave me, some years ago, a handful of the recent fruits, one or two of which are sent with this fossil one, for your consideration. He had them from Bengal, and called them, in the Indian name, Neermelis; and said the natives used them to fine down liquors.
Fig. 14. A compressed pod of the Arachidna, or Underground-Pea. The full-grown pods are much larger, but of various sizes, as are other kinds. This, however, seems to have been, when deposited where it was found, not so far advanced. It has the reticulated surface, the apex on one side, and every other character of that fruit or seed-pod, but somewhat compressed.
Fig. 15. is evidently an Acorn. We have of this species here, and in America also.
Fig. 16. An exotic fruit, like a small melon; but uncertain. It is somewhat deformed by compression.
Fig. 17. This I took at first for a fruit; but now I rather believe it a Fungoides of a very pretty kind.
Fig. 18. An Anguria? I take it for a seed of a species of water-melon.
Fig. 19. seems a small plumb-stone.
Fig. 20. Unknown. The calyx seems to run up and embrace this fruit towards the apex.
