Excerpt from Seed Dispersal This little book is prepared with the thought of helping young botanists and teachers. Unless the reader has followed in detail, by actual experience, some of the modes of plant dispersion, he can have little idea of the fascination it affords, or the rich rewards in store for patient investigation. A brief list of contributions to the subject is given, but, with very few exceptions, the statements here made, unless otherwise mentioned in the text, are the results of observations by the author. I am under obligations for suggestions by my colleague, Prof. W. B. Barrows, my assistant, Prof. C. F. Wheeler, and a former instructor of botany, L. H. Dewey, now of the United States Department of Agriculture. B. O. Longyear, instructor in botany, with very few exceptions, has made the drawings.
