3S0 Remarks on the supposed Influence of the Pollen, $c. 

 venture to conclude, that the opinions of Mr. Salisbury, 

 quoted by Mr. Goss, which have also very long been mine, 

 viz. that neither the colour of the seed-coats, nor the form, 

 taste, or flavour of fruits, are ever affected by the immediate 

 influence of the pollen of a plant of another variety or species, 

 are well-founded. 



I need not add, that Mr. Seton's experiment mentioned in 

 the note to Mr. Goss's Paper, is also most perfectly accu- 

 rate ; though the results differed from those obtained by 

 Mr. Goss, owing, I imagine, to the greater permanence of co- 

 lour in the cotyledons of the Green Imperial Pea, which was 

 the subject of his experiments.
