groups of tails ing ie by its presence or 
nee. The n formed in the deuteron is called 
Endo ospermium, Mwhile oi forued | in the nucleus is called 
Perispermium. When embryo-sac does not fill the 
nucleus, and the preysties does not fill the former, both

and this is the case with all Papaveracew, Ranunculacee, 
Umbellifere, eee er, nae principally the case in all the 
onters of Lind! ey’s p Albuminosze. The perisperm 
s probably develope i in 1 all families which have what is 
called ae trale. 
On y Sennieal Relations and Extent of the 
Albionen—In most cases the albumen has the form 
f the seed on a reduced scale. A remarkable devia- 
any of the ee ae the embryo-sac forms 
tele eres or gee hich, in the of reed main as 
appendages albumen. Album well as 
Pigs parts of Pot, consists sosentially of. ell tissue 
the cells of which have contents. Cytoblas e seen 
only seldom in the cells of | albu men, at may * ‘anh ve 
wellin Zea Mays. The cells present all the varieties of 
ordinary parenchyma, but never any spiral structure. The 
walls of the cells are enue peta simple, without evi- 
sent f.configasation. as in ase of the aivainedt farina- 
um. The. eal r thic 
rm wn tgs t a the cells look as if they were cut 
out of a hom s mass, as in the albumen oleosum 
and co omen. ni 3 ‘the Rubiacese there are thin spots in 
the horny ee by though age ware forming ; the 
n 
he thinewalled te phres are very ev ident, With regard 
y-like texture, from its being developed from the walls 
of the sac towards the embryo, or if that is very small 
the a . 
contents of the cells of albumen, they do not differ much 
from those of parenchymh in general. In Alpinia carda- 
momum, formless masses are ait ved in the cglls of

Teeagon olo ae he would find it difficult to account f

eguminosze. Garter originally made exceptions to 
statement that vet had no albumen ; it was confined, by 
Jussieu, to the orthoblastic genera. De Candolle le called the 
albumen of th hese pin an 8 Ee turmida, and most 
and Perrotte 
om 
albumen in this family, but did not carry out his views.
