I'm no expert, but your Cephalotus may be toast. Those seeds do require cold stratification, so they may have deteriorated away.
The Nep seeds, however, do not require stratification. In fact, too cold of temperatures may be detrimental to them. Sow them immediately, or as soon as possible, and keep them warm to aid in germination, which I've heard can take anywhere from a couple of months to a year.
Good luck.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.
