■J 2 THE PLANT WORLD. 



stitiite for the usual text-book, as there it inchides very httle 

 ou the inner structure of plants and plant types. ( )smosis is 

 insufficiently treated (p. 60). sexual and asexual reproduction are 

 not clearly distinguished (p. 271) and a scientist would state dif- 

 ferently the beginning sentence on variation ( p. 245 ) . 



The paper and print are good, the illustrations clear and the 

 references and tables helpful. Soils, insects and other related 

 subjects are clearly and fully treated. The city boy would be 

 profited by such a course, but the book seems a direct answer to 

 the needs of our rural schools. T- B.
