Abstract
THIS work is divided into two main divisions, “General Botany” and “Special Botany.” The general botany commences with a section on morphology, external and internal. Some alterations from the second English edition have been made here, notably in the account and diagrams of mitosis. A paragraph on “reduction division,” with illustrations, has been added. The description of the secondary tissues and their development is particularly good, but the new diagrams illustrating this subject do not add to the clearness.
