Abstract, by H. Muller, under same title. 
(Bot. Jahresbericht ... Just, 1879, v. 7, 
p- 127-128.) 
From a study of the extrafloral nectar glands and the 
insects which feed on their secretion, the writer is led to 
reject the views of Kerner, Belt and Delpino, as to the 
use of such organs —at least so far as melampyrum is 
concerned. He has no hypothesis of his own to substi- 
tute for these rejected. W: T. (2454)

ber of species, and their fertilization by insects.
