Experiments with Corrosive Sublimate. 

 In all of the germination experiments care has been taken to 

 destroy all fungoid germs by boiling the cloths used, for about 

 thirty minutes, and thoroughly scalding the tray and everything 

 connected with it. Yet the seeds have moulded more or less dur- 

 ing the two weeks they remained in the germinator. Those that 

 sprouted in a few days moulded but little, or not at all, while 

 those that sprouted slowly, or failed to germinate moulded con- 

 siderably, and sometimes very badly. The germs of the mould 

 must in these cases have been on or in the seeds themselves. The 

 question arose whether the mould interfered in any way with the
