1-' Pollination '
A. D. PEACOCK (Professor of Natural History, University College, Dundee)
Thousands of years ago the kings of ancient Assyria used to go from flower to flower of the date palm, touching each with a flower of the same kind. The Assyrians were practical biologists, for they observed that something must pass to each flower before the seed can be set. Everybody knows now that this something is the pollen which certain parts of each flower produce. The process of pollination will be discussed by Professor A. D. Peacock this afternoon.
