Rev. A. E. Eaton on the wingless condition of the insects on Kerguelen Land.

[Cross and self fertilisation, p. 408: "Now there is only a single plant in the great order of the Cruciferae, namely, Pringlea, which is anemophilous, and this plant is an inhabitant of Kerguelen Land,* where there are hardly any winged insects, owing probably, as was suggested by me in the case of Madeira, to the risk which they run of being blown out to sea and destroyed.

*The Reverend A.E. Eaton in 'Proceedings of the Royal Society' volume xxiii. 1875 page 351."]
