The ages of the seeds could be definitely determined, varying from 25 to 135 years, but the oldest seed (Cassia bicapsularis) which Becquerel succeeded in germinating was 87 years old. In the following year Ewart pub- lished a list of over 4,000 varieties of seeds which had been germinated after varying lengths of time. About 600 species recorded by Ewart were from seed which had been sent out from Kew forty years before, for a projected botanical garden at Melbourne, but were locked up in a cupboard and forgotten. As the results of the investigations of these two workers, it was possible to niake a significant generalization about the types of seeds which show extreme longevity, namely, that all had excep- tionally strong and impermeable cov- erings. Not only are coats of such seeds impervious to air, but they are likewise impermeable to dry alcohol, ether, chlo- roform and similar substances. These hermetically sealed seeds, therefore, a
