Shows, among other things, that certain plants are 
so dependent upon certain insects and other animals for 
pollination that their distribution is necessarily limited 
by that of the insects in question. The presence of 
some such specialized plants in high latitudes is made 
use of as a reason for believing the occurrence of their 
particular groups of insects. W: T. (2637)

Treats of zoidiophilous flowers, or those adapted to 
pollination by aid of animals; discussing the odors, 
colors, pollen and nectar of flowers as means of attract- 
ing to them insects and other animals, and showing how 
the latter effect cross-fertilization between the flowers.
