ABSTRACT OF PROCEEDINGS. xli. 



ance of the venation of the members of the phellandrene-peppermint 

 group has become more open, and the spaces between the principal 

 lateral veins are larger. With the subordination of many of the 

 original lateral veins the spaces provided for the formation of the 

 oil glands is larger, and consequently we find these more numerous 

 in the members of this group; the yield of oil obtainable is there- 

 fore much greater, and it is this feature which enables such 

 enormous yields of oil to be obtained from such species as E 

 amygdalina, E. dives, and E. radiata.
