Dracunculus vulgaris is fertilized by beetles, chiefly 
saprinus, dermestes and oxytelus. D. crinitus is be- 
lieved to be close-fertilized by diptera. The pollina- 
tion of ca//a is largely effected by beetles (oxytherea).

Abstract, by H. Miiller, entitled ‘‘Beo- 
bachtungen iiber die Abanderungen der 
Pflanzen nach den physischen Bedingungen 
der Umgebung.” (Bot. Jahresbericht...

As a result of the greater quantity of nectar in high 
latitudes and altitudes, flowers are more abundantly 
visited by hymenoptera in Scandinavia and the Alps 
than in France or Germany at lower altitudes. Honey- 
dew is more abundant in Scandinavia than in France, 
and is eagerly gathered by hymenoptera (p. 110). The 
authors do not believe that the greater intensity of color 
in alpine and sub-arctic flowers is connected with the 
greater rarity of insects (p. 114), but attribute it solely 
to the greater quantity of luminous rays received in 
summer in high altitudes and latitudes (p. 118).
