SUMMARIES OF THE HISTOLOGIC CHARACTERS, ETC. 



scopic figure and selenite reactions N. queen of roses is 

 closer than N. dainty maid to N. elegans. In the iodine 

 reactions with the raw grains N. queen of roses is closer 

 than N. dainty maid to N. elegans; but with the gela- 

 tinized grains they closely resemble those of N. crispa, 

 while those of the other hybrid resemble those of the 

 other parent. In the qualitative reactions with chloral 

 hydrate both are closer to N. elegans than to N. crispa, 

 but N. queen of roses is not so close to N. crispa as is 

 N. dainty maid to N. elegans, and there is nearly as much 

 difference between the hybrids as there is between N. 

 queen of roses and N. elegans. In the reactions of nitric 

 acid, potassium iodide, potassium sulphocyanate, and 

 potassium sulphide the hybrids are close to one another, 

 and N. queen of roses is not so close as is N. dainty maid 



to N. elegans. In the sodium-salicylate reactions N. 

 queen of roses is not so close to N. crispa as is N. dainty 

 maid to N. elegans, and there is nearly as much differ- 

 ence between the hybrids as there is between N. queen 

 of roses and N. elegans. The reactions of chloral hy- 

 drate and sodium salicylate are of especial interest be- 

 cause of the reversal of the hybrid and parental relation- 

 ships, 2V. queen of roses being closer to N. elegans, and 

 N. dainty maid closer to N. crispa, in both reactions; 

 while both hybrids incline, as a whole, to N. elegans, N. 

 dainty maid is closer than the other hybrid. The quan- 

 titative reactions bear the most variable relationships to 

 the qualitative reactions, showing, as in preceding sets, 

 the independence of qualitative and quantitative reac- 

 tions with the same agent and reagent.
