over the Thalamiflorz, 52 per cent. of the former to 48 per cent. 
of the latter. We note, moreover, that the Ranales include 
nearly 50 per cent. of the Thalamiflore, the Caryophyllales 16 
per cent., and the Malvales 34 per cent. In the Calyciflore the 
Myrtales have but 4 per cent., the Umbellales 12 per cent., the 
Rosales 24 per cent., and the Celastrales and Sapindales about 
30 per cent. each. The Heteromerz are represented by a few 
species of Primulales, Ericales, and Ebenales, and there are no 
Bicarpellate whatever. Of the Infere there are eight species 
of Rubiales. It will be instructive to place these results side by 
side in tabular form.

The significance of these data may be made still more evident 
by the following diagrams which are drawn to the same propor- 
tions (fig. 7). 
Attention may well be called to the close agreement between 
the results reached by Schimper and Lesquereux. According to
