Abstract
WE have here a comprehensive work embodying the results of a ten years' study of water plants, and dealing in a very practical fashion with the mass of literature that has grown up around the subject. As a book of authority on aquatic plants, it will be ranked with Schenck's work of a generation ago, and it would not receive its due if we did not add that it worthily holds the place. But we must not forget that other industrious investigators have in the meantime filled the gap. Prominent among them are Gluck, Goebel, Henslow, Pond, Sargant, Sauvageau, Willis, and many others. Since Schenck's time, however, new points of view have arisen, and new methods have been in use by numerous inquirers of both sexes, all keen in their desire to take a part in the new era of research.
