Abstract
MAY I be permitted to remark on Mr. Bridgman's communication in NATURE (vol. xvii. p. 102)? He says he has collected pollen grains of different kinds washed from the thigh of an Andrena nigro-ænea, and varying in colour from orange-red to white. The true inquiry as to the discrimination of insects is not as to the colour on distinct kinds of pollen, but their homogeneity in respect of fertilisation.
