[99] Such are the "Conditions of Life," upon the "Direct Action," of which Darwin lays so much stress, as resulting in "Definite Variations ... without the aid of selection." (Var. of An. and Pl. under Dom. ii. p. 271 ff.; Origin etc. 6th ed. p. 106, etc.)
[100] Quoted in Memoir, p. 161.
[101] On enquiring at Rothamstead, Mr Hall has kindly informed me that a "good deal of attention was given in Germany to this and other possible materials for the conservation of the nitrogen; but the general result was adverse to their employment."
[102] A misnomer, as the coralloid organisms are Bryozoa.
[103] In his printed Report on the Diseases of Wheat, written for private circulation only, he has added in MS.—"In specimens of true mildew, the three forms—Uredo rubigo, U. lincaris and Puccinia graminis, coexist simultaneously in the same sori, as well as numerous intermediate forms, which establish the specific identity of these fungi." U. rubigo-vera is now regarded as a form of Puccinia rubigo-vera and Æcidium asperifolii.
[104] From the Professor's display of the methods he adopted of teaching Botany in schools, now in the South Kensington Museum, and Prof. D. Oliver's Lessons, etc. based on MS. left unfinished at my father's death, the floral schedule has been adopted in schools, not only all through the British Isles, but the Colonies as well.
[105] A more complete account will be found in Jenyns' Memoir.
