in of the primary cell-wall all round. Its further formation 

 results, in part, from the extension of this projecting fold, in part 

 from the deposition of thickening layers around it. The original 

 membrane dividing two opposed pores, becomes absorbed when 

 the adjacent cells contain air, and persists in those which continue 

 to be filled with fluid.

M. Eremy resolves the colouring matter of chlorophyll into 

 blue and yellow elements by treatment with a mixture of ether 

 and dilute hydrochloric acid. The blue substance he calls phyllo- 

 cyanine ; the yellow, pkylloxanthine. The latter is the more 

 stable element, and is found in autumnal as well as nascent 

 leaves, from which phyllocyanine is absent.
