Abstract
THE paper by Mr. Sorby in NATURE for December 4, 1884 (p. 105) opens up an unpursued inquiry into the cause of leaves falling in autumn. While Mr. Sorby has had his attention drawn to the subject by looking at the actual trees and leaves “of the fine display of autumnal tints which we have lately seen” in England, there is much of both positive and negative evidence to be drawn in two extreme directions—the tropics and the pole.
