The cotyledons of Streptocarpus polyanthus at first equal, be- come in a few days after germination remarkably unequal, the larger continuing its expansion until it attains frequently a foot in length, constituting usually the only leaf of the plant.

The development of the "pits" or " pores" on the wood-cells and vessels, takes place in a similar manner in all plants provided with them, which were examined by the author. He selects Pinus as especially suited for their study, from the large size of the pits, and its ready accessibility. The " pit" (Tiipfel), which is a closed pore widened at its base, is first formed by a folding-
