Abstract
WHEN a district interesting to geologist and naturalist alike is handed over to a body of scientific investigators, the result in these days of intensive research is likely to be important. Dr. Conwentz, the indefatigable pioneer of nature-protection, has edited a volume of 700 pages, which gives the results of such a study in the case of the Plagejenn at Chorin, in Prussia, a district of marshes, lakes, islands, and wooded country. Of course, there are gaps in the mass of knowledge accumulated during several years, in the fauna and lower flora, for instance. But the whole work is a remarkable study in classification and generalisation.
