booklets to their seeds or fruits ; of this kind there are possibly 9 species ; 

 h. b}^ means of other substances, e. g., spiders-webs, or mud, as in the case 

 of swimming and wading birds ; of this kind there are 16. 



Those carried in the crops of birds are also of two different kind : a. 

 those introduced by frugivorous birds (perhaps also partly by bats), where 

 the fruits are eaten on account of their pulp and the seeds, though swal- 

 lowed, are voided uninjured ; of this kind there are 55. This mode of 

 introduction is an every-day result of the mode of life of the creatures 

 concerned: b. those introduced by grain- and seed-eating birds, where 

 introduction can only happen when the bird that brings the seed or 

 grain falls a victim, on arrival, to some bird or beast of prey ; this may 

 happen in the case of any migrating bird when it arrives fatigued after 

 a lengthened flight, and must also happen to a certain proportion of the 

 birds that are driven, numbed or injured, to the land by storms. Of 

 this kind there are perhaps 14 species.
