Abstract
I WAS glad to see in NATURE, vol. xxxv. p. 594, a suitable notice of Prof. Borzi's very interesting paper on the above subject. So far as regards the discovery of the continuity of the protoplasm in this group of plants, I should like to be allowed to state that in my paper “On the Constitution of the Cell-wall and Middle Lamella,” read February 10, 1884, and published in the Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, vol. v. part ii., I drew attention to the fact that in Nostoc I had observed a continuity of the protoplasm between adjacent cells. But I simply stated the bare fact, and my note was therefore even more pronouncedly “una brevissima comunicazione” than that of Wille's on Stigonema, to which Prof. Borzi refers.
