 of botanv for Colleges and universit ies. Morph. Phys. 

 (I. 484 pp. "699 fig. American Book Co., 1910.) 



A book b}" members of the botanical staff of the University of 

 Chicago, of which the first two parts, mbrphology and physiology, 

 are now published. Prepared in a compact form for undergraduate 

 students, presenting general conceptions rather than a collection of 

 facts and using only such material as has been tried in actual class work. 



Part. I. Morpholog}', b}' Prof. J. H. Coulter, takes up in regulär 

 Order the various groups of the plant kingdom, discussing the ge- 

 neral characters, relationships, life histories and specific points of 

 importance, as the case maj^ require. Part. II. Physiology, by the 

 late Prof. Ch. R. Barnes, is restricted, mainly, to a consideration 

 of the behavior of seed plants, in terms of matter and force, depen- 

 ding upon the data of chemistry and physics. The subject is divided 

 into the following chapters. The material -income of plants; the 

 material outgo of plants; nutrition; destructive metabolism; growth 

 and movement. Moore.

 ladelphia 1910.)

 CX. 433. 1909). The botanical portion has been revised and impro- 

 vements made in the text and illustrations, but the most note worthy 

 addition is about forty pages on the micro-analysis of plant consti- 

 tuents by means of the petrographical miscroscope. Moore.
