SUMMARY Loe 
skill of the Storksbill, possessed also, but in a lesser 
degree by the Dusky Cranesbill, in anchoring its seeds 
in the soil often within a very short time of their 
ripening. 
All the five points to which I drew attention just 
now refer to the sixth and seventh factors of life, 
the first two to Pollination and the other three to the 
seeds, the chief interest being found in the arrange- 
ments for the first-instance dispersal; and so I may 
fittingly bring this summary to a close by asking the 
reader to give attention to the tables that appear at 
the end of this book, and the Nature-student to confirm 
or add to them by making observations of his own. I 
cannot vouch from my own personal knowledge for 
every detail of Table I., because for the sake of 
completeness I have included therein, as well as in 
the text, reliable observations already recorded by 
competent observers, pending an opportunity, not 
yet in sight, of confirming them myself.
