different forms, which are int 
themselves, are arc distinguished from all 
American s, by the narrower and 
usually longer beak (ct lower part), and espec- 
ially by the large, though not very prominent 
chalaza, which occupies the = and not the 
middle part of the seed. These four specimen 
seeds represent the principal diem; but not all 
agree entirely with them.
