The question 

 of perme- 

 ability does 

 not here 

 arise. In 

 all cases the 

 seed proper 

 is here re- 

 ferred to. 



* See Note i of Appendix. The seeds were abnormally shrivelled. As with Faba 

 vulgaris (Broad Bean) and Phaseolus tnultiflorus (Scarlet-runner), the seeds of Pisum 

 sativum (Pea) shrink excessively if detached from the pod. It is therefore not possible 

 to get good results in these cases.
