May I be allowed a vevy few words in referencc to one seutence 

 in HeiT Dr. Möbius' „Anmerkung" to bis very iVieridly review 

 ot" our „Handbook of Cryptogamic Botany". He tliinks the terni 

 Spermaphytes (Samenpflanzen) and all terms tbrmed tVom 07€'cQi.iu. 

 sliould be limited to Phanerogamia ; leaving terms l'ormed tVom 

 „spore" to Cryptogamia. But surely tliese terms were invented 

 betöre the process of sexual reproduction was discovered even in 

 Vascular Cryptogams, and when it was thouglit that the only mode 

 of reproduction in all Cryptogamia was a non sexual one. Now 

 that it is known that the sexual reproduction in the higher Crypto- 

 gamia corresponds in all essential particulars with that in Phanero- 

 gamia, it seems to me more in accordance with a scientific termino- 

 logy to indicate this homology by similar terms, which will show 

 to the Student that there is no essential difference in the physiology 

 of the process in the two classes of plants.
