Note to Collomia lieterophylla,foL 1347. 



We find we have been anticipated in the comparison drawn between the 

 spiral fibres of the testa of Collomia and the coma upon the seeds of Ascle- 

 piadeae and other plants. Mr. Don has pointed out some remarks by him 

 in Jameson's Journal for January 1829, in which the same opinion is 

 expressed. We had no doubt read this at the time of its appearance and 

 afterwards forgotten it, or we should not have failed to acknowledge the 

 priority of the observation, which, by the way, probably escaped our recollec- 

 tion in consequence of being mixed up with some remarks upon true spiral 

 vessels generally, in which we are less disposed to concur.
