Abstract
THE conclusion of Prof. H. H. Dixon (NATURE, February 23, 1922, p. 236, and October 21, 1922, p. 547) that the translocation of organic substances could take place through the vessels of the xylem appears to have created a mild sensation among plant physiologists. Attention, however, does not seem to have been directed to the behaviour of the sugar maple, which furnishes important evidence in this connexion.
