have failed to stand the test of critical investigation, in the 

 light of the present theory. Thus certain investigators have 

 reported xenia in the color of the seed coats of certain peas. 

 But Giltay ('93) in a series of experiments found no instance 

 where color was transmitted to these tissues. The pigments in 

 these plants lie in the cotyledons of the embryo which of course 

 are readily visible through the thin coats of the seed. While 

 the present theory of xenia is very recent and has been critic- 

 ally applied in few forms, it seems thoroughly satisfactory in 

 every particular with no clearly established evidence against it.
