 Landesuniversitat Giessen. [Expansion of academic forestry course at the University of 

 Giessen.] Fortwiss. Centralbl. 43: 02-09. 1921. — Even before the war the movement wa:S 

 inaugurated to combine the forest schools of Tubingen, Giessen, and Karlsruhe in 1 school at 

 Heidelberg. Since the war, this plan has been abandoned, but Wiirttembcrg and Haden 

 have combined their courses, given at Freiburg. This location is not convenient for Hesse, 

 and it has been decided to maintain and enlarge the course at Giessen. The article appeals 

 form oral and material support from all interested persons and organizations. — W, A'.

 1921. — The present is an entirely revised edition. Fabricius expresses the wish that 

 botanists pay a little more attention to trees instead of confining their discussions and 

 illustrations almost entirelj' to crop or weed plants. For instance, the discussion of the 

 influence of light upon seed germination in Ranunculus, Allium, or Pinguicula, could have 

 been illustrated just as well with results of research on forest-tree seeds. — W. N .Sparhawk.

 phology.] 16 X 26 cm., 204 P-, S2 pi. H. Vaillant-Carmanne: Lidge, 1920.— This text book 

 is intended for use in a course in plant morphology based on the study of representative types. 

 It comprises 3 main parts. The 1st, "Notions of Cytology," deals with cells — their structure, 

 physiological responses, and origin by division. In the 2nd part, "Principal Types of Vege- 

 table Organization," representative types of the great plant groups are taken up with reference 

 to their organs of vegetation, asexual propagation, sexual reproduction, and spore production. 

 This part includes also a synthetic survey of the evolution of the plant kingdom. In the 

 3rd part, "Study of Angiospermous Plants," the organography, anatomy, and classification 

 of flowering plants are considered in somewhat greater detail. The book is illustrated with 

 32 plates of diagrammatic figures. An unusual feature is a collection of quotations from the 

 writings of eminent men on the subjects of science, scientific method, study, etc. — L. W.
