In any case it is of the greatest interest that the two types of inoculation may be found 

 in the smut forms living in blossoms which are determined on the one hand, by the pollenation 

 of plants fertilized by the wind, on the other hand, those fertilized by insects. The fact must 

 be especially emphasized here that the different formations of the smut fungi on saprophytic 

 nutrient substrata as shown in so many cases in Parts V and XII of this work 1 , may be har- 

 moniously connected with the infection forms of smut fungi which have now been made known.
