Hayata, B., The Vegetion of Mt. Fuji, [with a Complete 

 list of Plants found on the Mountain, and a Botanical 

 map showing their Distribution]. (125 pp. 8 pl. 1 col. map 

 and 35 figs. Maruya etc. Co. Tokyo 1911.) 



In this work, the author has determined the difference of the 

 mountain- Vegetation, according to altitude and exposure. So far as 

 the exposure alone is concerned, the Vegetation may be divided into 

 two classes: the northern and southern. On the northern slope, the 

 evergreen conifer predominates, while on the south the deciduous 

 broad leaved trees are in control. To ascertain the cause of this di- 

 vergence, he has examined the physiography of the mountain and 

 found that the divergence may be ascribed to the difference of the 

 climatic factors, and principally to that of the Saturation- deficits on 

 the two sides. Next, he has considered the general aspect of the 

 plant-formation, dividing the whole mountain into four parts, and 

 describing the formations separately. An the southern side, he has 

 found that the forest-formation attains its most luxuriant growth at 

 the 2000 m. elevation. Next, he has dwelt upon each region more 

 particularly and stated the maximum and minimum limitations of the 

 growth. These, the zonation of plant-regions has been discussed zone 

 by zone. The species of each region are mentioned and the list of 

 plants given. He has also summarized all the plants in one table, 

 and given a short note on the general aspect of the flora of the 

 mountain. The plants contained in the table are in all 739 species 

 belonging to 96 families. Next, he has considered the effect of fires, 

 and come to the conclusion that the present prairie is mainly due 

 to forest-fires. Lastly he has considered the cause of the absence of 

 Pinus pumila and stated that the wind-direction is not suitable for 

 conveying the seeds of the Pinus from the neighbouring mountains 

 to the volcano. B. Hayata.

Erdschichten). Starke Blattre- 

 duktion. Relalive Blütengrösse. 

 Insektenanlockung durch Schau- 

 apparat. Ballistische Samenver-

Die Hauptpunkte der Gruppierung im Herbare sind: I. Das 

 Wasser als gestaltender Faktor (Xerophyten, ^grophyten), IL Ein- 

 fluss der chemisch physikalischen Bodenverhältnisse (Salz-, Moor-, 

 Serpentinpflanzen, Wurzelformen). III. Pflanze und Licht. (Schatten-, 

 Sonnen-, Kompasspflanzen, Gegenüberstellung von Sonnen- und 

 Schattenformen derselben Art). IV. Einfluss der Wärme (Laubfall, 

 Umgebung von schlechten Wärmeleitern, Haarfilze etc.). V. Einfluss 

 des Höhenklimas. VI. Blütenbiologie. VII. Samen- und Fruchtver- 

 breitung. VIII. Vegetative Vermehrung der Pflanzen. IX. Schutz 

 vor Tierfrass. X. Die Pflanze im Kampfe um Raum und Licht. XI. 

 Biologie der Ernährung. Matouschek (Wien).
