Abstract
IN this interesting and suggestive book, Prof. Stahl presents us with the results of his observations and speculations upon the ever-interesting problems of the biology of chlorophyll and its related colouring matters. One of the most interesting of these is the cause of the prevailing green colour of our vegetation. How does it arise that the various photo-synthetic organs of plants are green, and not some other colour?
