Abstract
IT has been a matter for surprise to those who were familiar, through the German edition, with Prof. Palladin's text-book of plant physiology that it had not hitherto been available in English. The German edition, which was based on the sixth Russian edition, appeared in 1911, so that we have had to wait unduly long for the present translation, which appears under the editorship of Prof. Livingston, of the Johns Hopkins University. The present work is based on the German edition, but it has been collated with the seventh Russian edition, which appeared in 1914, and any alterations have been included in the English text. Hitherto there has been available to students no text-book of plant physiology of small compass which could serve as an introduction to the larger works of Pfeffer and Jost. This book admirably fills the gap.
