Abstract
THIS volume is a collection of bulletins published monthly by the Technical Instruction Committee of the Essex County Council, as an aid to the teaching of biology. It contains information bearing upon the applications of biology to the industrial pursuits of the county, and notes of interest to biological students. Among the subjects of short articles are ergot and its physiological effects, bracken poisoning of cattle, biological aspects of dairying, injurious insects, diseases of cultivated plants, zoology on the Essex coast, and spraying experiments; and there are also included in the volume several detailed syllabuses of courses of practical instruction in vegetable and animal biology. The “Notes” are well illustrated, and must be of great assistance to the students in the classes controlled by the Essex County Council. Other County Councils would do well to issue monthly bulletins of the kind collected in this volume.
