Abstract
IN this work we find the results of Mr. Guppy's investigations on the seeds of several flowering plants. The investigations seem to have been prompted by a statement by Goebel to the effect that the biology of the ripening fruit has hitherto scarcely received attention, and a further statement by Pfeffer that the means by which the power of resistance to drying is gained and the changes which cause its loss are quite unknown.
