U. SUZUKI. THE NUTS OF GINGKO 13IL013A. 



The Gingko seeds are exceedingly rich in starch, amounting nearly to 63^' of the 

 dry matter. Microscopical examination showed that the starch is oval and sometimes 

 round, much resembling potato starch, but distinguished from it by striation and 

 fissures.
