A single cone, therefore, contains from two to three hundred seeds, which are about a fourth of an inch long by three sixteenths wide, including a thin, flat margin that makes them go glancing and wavering in their fall like a boy's kite.

因此，一个球果包含两到三百颗种子，长约四分之一英寸，宽约十六分之三英寸，包括一个薄而平坦的边缘，使它们像男孩的风筝一样在坠落时掠过并摇摆不定。
