Tug TracumG Boranist' by W. F. Ganong, Ph.D., of Smith Col- 
lege, is really two books in one. Part I consists of a series of eight 
essays on botanical pedagogics. These are all good but those on the 
following topics are pre-eminently valuable : What Botany is of most 
worth? Things essential to good Botanical Teaching; Botanical Col- 
lections and other Illustrations; Some common Errors. It would be 
hard to find a secondary school teacher of botany anywhere who would 
not profit greatly by reading and digesting these brief essays. They 
abound in breezy, scientific common sense and suggest much that is 
new to most teachers. 
Part II contains a scheme for a year's work in the laboratory. It 
deals largely with the physiological and somewhat with the ecological 
side of botany; the aspects most interesting to the average student. 
Many of the experiments and manipulations are wholly new, at least as 
regards their form, and the whole series is a practicable one. — J. Y. B.
