Abstract

UNDER the above heading (NATURE, March 26, p. 490) Prof. Henslow gives some criticisms of my paper on the Alpine flora, which seem to show that, for the sake of brevity, I unintentionally rendered my views obscure to him and possibly to others who share his opinions. It is therefore fortunate that he should have stated his difficulties, in order that I may try to explain what it was I intended, taking the various points in succession.
