upon the barren hills. The trees that
spring from the seeds of appendaged
fruits will tend to produce this kind Of
seed-vessels themselves. Thus. in
time. first a samaroid and later a fully
winged fruit will be evolved. To
quote further.
Easy conditions of life cannot have

have in the past been encountered.
and the trees that were enabled to es-
tablish means Of dissemination sur
viyed in the struggle for existence.
but the barriers 10 be passed over
may not have been in all. or even most
cases hills. Sir John Lubbock finds
that the only trees that bear winged
fruits are forest trees. which fact
would seem TO indicate that such
fruits in many instances have been
evolved in order TO be carried over
vast tracts Of dense woodland. But
the theory here set forth remains IN
shaken, and is really thus supported
for the principle is the same.
TO sum up. II is certain that key
fruits were developed in a country
where they became of far greater
service to the trees which bore them
than they appear to be TO the ash
trees and naples in many regions 81
our eastern United States and else
where. But | do not wish to insist
that the barriers to be surmounted
were necessarily hills. They may
have been broad dry plains. or forest

even bodies of water-it all depends
upon the nature Of the region where
the changing form first grew"
