Argues for use than for defence – in Buffalo organ of smell internally – curious account of different instruction methods of fighting, when dog catches ear of Bull, latter does not think of crushing him, but Buffalo wd instantly, he not using his horns but head as weapon of offence, argues Horns of [insertion: Judge Orton kicking] of many deer useless! does not allude to sexual struggles.

p 384 shape of Horns of Buffalo vary very little, quite differently from common cattle, yet near Parma, when more domestication being to turn as in B. Taureau. Mem. Youatt about less variability of common ox & horses.

p. 33 long-time established that Caryophyllées have their petals & stamens inserted on receptacle of flower ∴ by Jussieu placed under polypets hypog: [hypogynes]

Knows two exceptions in two species of this genera, & 3d in the A. Tetraquetra (p. 34) but all specimens are not equally [distinctive]; in all those of var. B aggregate & in all the hermaphrodite flowers of (a) uniflora collected in Pyrenes. The insertion is ambiguous & neither visibly perig or hypog: On contrary in all female individuals of (a) uniflora & especially in those with seed rather ripe, the insertion was perigynous.

[14]

(7) p. 37 Linnæus with Gay thought these two varieties the same species, though others have thought differently; they have very different appearances & grow at very different heights: the var. aggregate grows on low hills of Pyrenes &c even the level of sea, -

On contrary the true A. Tetraquetra, var uniflora grows only on high mountains, near perpetual [illeg] 800 to 100 toises, latter var: dwarf 1/2 inch high, single-flowered – [forms] an aggregate 5 to 10 flowers on summit & two inches – leaves also a little different – Moreover uniflora are polygamous &c some male & female flowers, anthers of latter small size & aborted – the aggregate, at least all M. Gay's specimens, are hermaphrodite – aggregate has always 5 sepals petals & 8 stamens – uniflora has 5 sepals petals & 10 stamens – form of petals differ in two sexes if uniflora – (Mem. Primrose & cowslip)

(I see I am in difficulty about important organs, as position of radish varying only in different families; I cannot see whether hereditary or effect of slow changes on other parts: I think it tends to show (as palæontology wd indicate) that all species of a genus x go on altering together, & then the important organs of same genus wd go on altering together. I think important organs can alter only indirectly through external alterations.

Tom 4 p. 222 A. Brongniart – amongst Dicotyledones can always arrive at knowledge of families & often of genera, by organs of vegetation: in Monocot: veg often determine family, rarely genus: on Dicot they rarely inform us [illeg] of family. In some families of Monocot, where organs of veget differ is in different genera, some can thus recognise them. (think of this; shows separate powers of variability.)
