HEREDITY AS ILLUSTRATED BY TRICHOMES. 



In table 8 the figures in the right-hand columns are the depths of the 

 depressions of the trichomes whose diameters are given in the correspond- 

 ing lines in the left-hand columns. 



The average diameter of the heads of the disk-shaped trichomes is 77.5 /*; 

 the average depth of the depression of the heads is 25.0 /*• Reference to 

 the measurements on the disk-shaped trichomes in Juglans calif ornica, given 



FiQ. 6.— Trichomes of Juglans nigra: a, awn-shaped trichome (ca., 242 M); 6 to k, development of 

 disk-shaped trichomes (6, e, d, e, /, i, and k, X ,535; g, h, and j, x 84;; I to g, stages in devel- 

 opment oflong secreting trichomes (X 535; ZX 1200). (Reduced one-fifth). 



at page 21, will show that those of Juglans nigra are noticeably smaller, 

 but the structure and the development, so far as known, of the two species 

 is the same. 



The long secreting trichomes are of two types, of which one has a head 

 of 4 cells, and the other a head of about 8 cells. Of these the former will 

 be described first. The trichome is 100 /* to 150 t^ in length (fig. 7, « to ,?) .
