The outer integument consists of atleast 2 layers, owing 
to the contrary directions in which they pass and to which the 
irregular fibrous appearance is to be attributed ; near its sur- 
face vast quantities of fascicled raphides occur. 
- It is well worthy of examination to ascertain whether the 
direction of the cotyledones is in all the 2-seeded species of 
ubiaceæ, parallel to the broader faces of the seed, and 
Whether, in the many seeded it is the reverse, In these last 
wever the narrow borders may be the true faces.
