NOTE.

During the progress of the foregoing pages through the press, several
additional illustrations of particular malformations have come under
notice. Some of the more important of these may here be recorded.

_Fasciation_ (see p. 11).--The following plants may be added to the
list:--_Acer eriocarpum_, _Arabis albida_, _Brassica oleracea_, var.,
_Guarea_, sp., _Artabotrys_ sp. In all, with the exception of the
first-named, the fasciation occurred in the inflorescence. In some
species of _Artabotrys_, indeed, fasciation and curvation of the
inflorescence are common.

_Synanthy_ (p. 39).--Several additional instances of adhesion of two or
more flowers in _Calanthe vestita_, _C. Veitchii_, and other forms of
this genus may be cited. These furnish further illustrations of the much
greater liability of some plants to particular changes as compared with
others. _Scilla bifolia_, _Gagea arvensis_, and _Viola odorata_ may be
added to the list of synanthic plants.

_Alterations of placentation, &c._ (see pp. 98, 483).--M. Casimir De
Candolle, in a letter to the author, dated March 8th, 1869, thus writes
of the existence of a double row of carpels in _Pyrus spectabilis_ and
_Crataegus Oxyacantha_, "a longitudinal section of a double flower of
_Pyrus spectabilis_ shows two rows of carpels, placed one above another.
The arrangement of the vascular bundles shows that the upper row is
external in relation to the lower series. The carpels of the latter are
wholly coalescent as in a pear, while those of the upper verticil are
only partially coherent or sometimes quite distinct. The placentation is
constantly axile in the infer
