Abstract
IT will be satisfactory to English botanists to find that a translation of Dr. Masters's classical work on vegetable teratology has been called for in Germany. The present German edition is not, however, simply a translation, as it has received many additions from the hand of the author. The work is thus of interest to English as well as to German readers, for it constitutes the most complete account in any language of abnormal structures in plants. The great value of such a record of teratological facts will be admitted by all botanists, however much they may differ as to the morphological significance of these phenomena.
