 1920. — A review of recent British work in pure and applied botany, such as agronomy, pathol- 

 ogy, and genetics. The application of pure botany to questions of economic importance is 

 presented in the development of more valuable varieties of wheat, cotton, sugar cane, and 

 rubber, and in improving the quality of the production of cacao, flax, and other crops. 

 A reference is made to the prominent place which ecological studies will take in the future of 

 botany. Recent work in tropical botany receives especial emphasis. The article is in gen- 

 eral a summing-up of the great influence of botany upon the welfare of the human race. — A 

 necrological review is presented.— C. L. Wilson.
