and some of the eighteen floated for a very much longer period. So that as 64/87 kinds of seeds germinated after an immersion of twenty-eight days; and as 18/94 distinct species with ripe fruit (but not all the same species as in the foregoing experiment) floated, after being dried, for above twenty-eight days, we may conclude, as far as anything can be inferred from these scanty facts, that the seeds of 14/100 kinds of plants of any country might be floated by sea-currents during twenty-eight days, and would retain their power of germination.
Era honetan, beraz, hazi espezieen 18/94 gesalpean 28 egun egon ondoren erne zirenez, eta fruitu heldudun espezie ezberdinen 18/94 (baina ez guztiak aurreko esperimentukoen espezie berekoak) lehortu ondoren, 28 egunez azalean iraun zutenez gero, egitate gutxi hauetatik atera daitekeen heinean, honako ondorio hau atera dezakegu, alegia, eskualde bateko espezieen %14a itsas korronteek bultzaturik 28 egunez joan litezkeela flotari eta ernetzeko ahalmenari eutsiko lioketela.
