Drawings will serve to render the records of observations clearer, 

 and some attempt should be made (see page 4) to keep together 

 notes on plants which scatter their seeds in the same general way. 

 An additional interest attaches to those cases 

 in which animals are forced, (see figures 11, 12, 

 and 13) or tempted into helping the plants to

Other instances where the aid of wind (see figures 14 and 15) 

 or water is reckoned upon and where automatic movements (see 

 figures 9, 10 and 16) on the part of the fruits or seeds are arranged 

 for, will also come to mind. 



A series of specimens may very easily be kept, and although it
