70 Mr. Griffith on the Ovulum of Santalum album. 



The structure of the fruit is sufficiently well understood, and hence figures of 

 this are unnecessary. My principal object has been to show the changes that 

 take place in the ovulum throughout its earlier stages, and especially to point 

 out the extraordinary situation of the embryo. 



The explanations of the figures are carried down to the nearly mature state 

 of the fruit ; the only considerable subsequent change being the conversion of 

 the tissue between the now osseous mesocarp and the cuticle into a baccate 

 pulp.
