Abstract
IN NATURE of Dec. 11, 1926, p. 837, I outlined the results of some observations upon the interception of rainfall by plants. Inter alia, it was shown that where an ordinary gauge registered a catch of 1, an adjacent gauge bearing a 12-in. high cylindrical frame of wire-mesh carrying branchlets of Podocarpus Thunbergii Hook, registered 1.81 during the period June 1, 1925–May 31, 1926.
