Abstract
THIS booklet contains about a hundred plates, which are photographic reproductions from the microscopical slides offered by the firm above-mentioned for the use of botanical students. The chief impression conveyed by the figures is the limitation imposed upon good microscopical preparations when referred to one focal plane as necessitated by photography. While the value of good slides for demonstration and examination by students is appreciable, one cannot attach much importance to figures which are primarily indices and convey in many cases only a portion of the information that can be derived from the preparations.
