of the many excellent workers who have busied themselves in this field, excepting, 

 however, the studies oj fungi, of digestion and, in some forms, of motility. 



In view of so much help I cannot forbear from making some, if inadequate, 

 acknowledgement: — 



First of all I should acknowledge the hospitality of the botanical stafifs of the Uni- 

 versities visited and made use of as centers of activity during my travels. At the Edin- 

 burgh Botanical Garden, Sir William Wright Smith, Mr. M. Y. Orr and Dr. J. M. 

 Cowan (who helped me by raising seedhngs of Utricularia); at the Royal College of 

 Surgeons, my friend Dr. J. Beattie; at the University of Capetown, Miss E. L. Stephens 

 who has been a constant help for some years. My stay there was made profitable by 

 the practical assistance in transportation and guidance afforded by Mrs. Frank Bolus, 

 Professor R. H. Compton, Mrs. M. R. Levyns and Mr. A. J. M. Middlemost; at Bris- 

 bane University, Professor D. A. Herbert and Mr. C. T. White; at the University of 

 New South Wales, Sydney, Professor John McLuckie, Dr. Pat Brough, Professor I. V. 

 Newman (now of the University at Wellington, N. Z.) and other members of the staff; 

 at the University in Melbourne, the late Professor A. J. Ewart and Miss Ethel I. Mc- 

 Lennan; at the Melbourne Herbarium, the late Director Mr. F. J. Rae and Mr. P. F. 

 Morris; at the University of Adelaide, Dr. A. E. V. Richardson (of the Australian 

 National Research Council) and Professor J. G. Wood; and at Perth, Professor J. C. 

 Armstrong and Miss Alison Baird; at the Western Australian State Herbarium, Dr. 

 C. A. Gardner. Without their knowledge of local conditions and immediate assistance, 

 always put promptly at my disposal, my work would have been much delayed and always 

 less fruitful. 



To those who as individuals have given me various forms of help, often involving 

 much effort, I offer these mere thanks into which I ask^them to read my highest appre- 

 ciation. Dr. J. W. Adams, Morris Arboretum; Dr. A. Akerman, Svalov; Miss E. Bea-
