528 LIFE-HISTORIES 
In dry weather, after calyptra and lid have fallen, a strong wind 
will shake the capsule on its slender elastic foot-stalk, and scatter 
the spores out between the teeth. ‘The most remarkable difference 
between the sporophytes of Funaria and Sphagnum is that the 
former like that of Anthoceros contains chlorophyll and is thus able

Fic. 353.—Cord-moss. A, tip of a female gametophyte cut vertically to 
show the female gametangia (archegonia) surrounded by pseudo-leaves 
(b), 82. B, an archegonium showing the swollen lower part (6) con- 
taining an unfertilized egg-cell, the neck (h) with its orifice (m) still 
closed and the axial row of cells being converted into mucilage, 492. 
C, orifice of an archegonium after fertilization, with its cell-walls 
colored dark red, *2%. (Sachs.) 
Fic. 354.—Cord-moss. A, embryo of sporophyte (f, f’) still within the arche- 
gonium (b, b), cut vertically, h, being the neck, 23%. B, C, more ad- 
vanced stages in the development of the sporophyte (f) covered by the 
old archegonium or calyptra (c) upon which the neck (h) still remains, —

to manufacture a large part of its own food while the latter is like 
the sporophytes of Riccia and Marchantia in being entirely para- 
sitic upon the gametophyte. Inorganic materials absorbed by the 
slender pseudo-roots of the gametophyte are supplied to the foot 
of the stalk and thence conducted to the photosynthetic tissue of 
the capsule. Conduction take places mainly through a central
