- We observe that languages differ greatly in their propensity to use abstract and concrete terms — some using the former freely, others the latter; and between the two extremes is every shade of intermediate usage. This tendency is best illustrated by terms of relationship; thus, in some languages parents call their children sons and daughters — abstract terms; in others they speak of them as male and female children — concrete terms. This peculiarity of expression &#91;Dr. Gustav Oppert of Madras&#93; has adopted as the basis of a classification of speech into abstract and concrete languages. Concrete languages are divided into heterologous, or those which contain special words, used when persons of different sex address each other; and homologous, or those in which both sexes use the same words. Abstract languages are classified under two heads, digenous and trigenous; that is to say, those which recognize two genders, and those which recognize three.

 * The author describes a “ trigenous ” female (“ Tschubataja ”) which does not contain &frac14; cow's blood like the previous ones but &#8539;. The head is, broadly speaking, like that of a female produced by the cross American bison X European bison.

Stamens usually 5-8, opposite the perianth-segments. Ovary 1-celled, free, compressed or trigenous, ovule 1. Fruit a nut, enclosed in the perianth.

 * Simultaneously with the seed of the self-pollinated F 2 plants, seed of the self-pollinated F 1 plants was again sown; the trigenous segregation was here hardly to be observed. The figures of both segregations are given in the following table.

 * According to the number of structural elements one may speak of digenous, trigenous, teatragenous, etc., movements. In addition one may distinguish between line movements and mixed movements; the former consisting exclusively of line members, the latter both of step and line members.

 * The inner surface of the seed coat is more smooth that the outer one. The wings are papery, light green and brittle when dried. The trigenous kernel is creamish coloured when young. The embryo is small and situated at one end of the cotyledons. The average weight of a single seed (ten seeds weighed separately) is 0.12g and the range of variation is 0.07 to 0.17g.
