Abstract
THIS work is designed to give a course of instruction in the practical working out of the internal structure of a number of higher types belonging to the vegetable kingdom, and should admirably fulfil this purpose. The earlier portion deals with the general preparation of specimens collection, fixation, and preservation; instruments and section cutting; staining and mounting, and is fully illustrated. Formulæ for reagents, stains, &c., then follow, after which certain types are selected and full directions given for demonstrating root, stem, floral, cell, and other structures. This section is illustrated with twenty-three coloured plates of the specimens, beautifully executed and with ample descriptions. The author is to be congratulated on the success which he has attained in the production of this work.
