Abstract
THE history of this publication is worth noting. It first appeared in 1855, the year of the opening of the new laboratory at Rothamsted, and was issued for the use of the numerous visitors to the experiments; it then consisted of four pages, giving the last year's produce on some of the experimental fields, and the scheme of cropping and manuring of the other fields on the farm. The next issue was in 1862, when the average produce on each plot was given. For some years it was not published annually, but supplements were from time to time issued. Annual publication commenced in 1872. In 1878, a preface giving an account of the origin and scope of the Rothamsted experiments was added, with a list of the papers already published. But little alteration in its character has since taken place, though the additions have been considerable. The present volume contains 120 pages, and supplies plans of the experimental fields.
