p 166 Meckel remarks "qu'en remontant dans l'echelle animale, les systèmes et les organes paraissent de plus en plus concentrés en eux-mêmes - first homologous organs, which then unite & blend together - Rathke Remarks that fishes with large livers, these do not seem to secrete more bile or to be more powering organs than smaller higher developed ones –

Nicandra, Nicotiana, Papaver, Physalis, Zea.

p 122 says most flowers are fecundated before they open. Editor demurs, but says in Caryophylleés & Solanées impregnation does take place before. (Falconer doubts this)

p 124 in most flowers, pollen & stigma ready simultaneously

p 125 in hybrid, impregnation pollen adheres more or less readily according to affinities of species. (generally praises highly Koelreuter)

p 134 in least form of impregnation, calyx only grows, one step more, more or less perfect development of pericarp then more or less nearly perfect seeds, with or without embryos. latter sometime not germinating.

p 135 Except in Datura, never obtained full compliment of seeds; hence Köelr. thought species only varieties.

Mr R Brown considers Euonymus exception to this rule, & as having ovule suspendu "Cependant je l'ai toujours trouvé dressé a l' epoque de la floraison; mais dans plusieurs espèces il change de direction pendant la maturation, et la graine est suspendue c'est ce qu'on observe même dans le Frusain commun.
