Abstract
THE Council of the Royal Society have invited Dr. Wilhelm Pfeffer, professor of botany in the University of Leipzig, and foreign member of the Royal Society, to deliver the Croonian Lecture on March 17. The subject of the lecture is to be “On the Nature and Significance of Functional Metabolism (Betriesstoffwechsels) in the Plant.” The lecture will be delivered in German. Prof. Pfeffer is well known among botanists for his two volumes on “Pflanzenphysiologie,” published in 1881 from Tübingen, and the second edition of which was issued last year; while his views on the function of chlorophyll, and its absorption-spectrum, are familiar to workers on the physiology of plant-life.
