Abstract
THE work described in this paper is a continuation of a previous research by Mr. Horace T. Brown and Dr. G. H. Morris published in 1890 (Jour. Chem. Soc, vol. lvii. p. 458), dealing with the respective influences of embryo and endosperm in the alteration of the reserve-starch and cellulose for the requirements of the young plant during germination of seeds of the Gramineæ. The seeds of various species were examined, but the main results were obtained with Hordeum vulgare; the observations made in this later work are also almost entirely confined to this species, and there can be but little doubt that the results will be found applicable to the Gramineæ generally.
