 The writer feels that before the agricultural scientist can be of the greatest assistance to the 

 farmer he must become more familiar with the practical problems of farm life. — J. L. Weimer. 



85. KtJSTER, Ernst. Lehrbuch der Botanik fiir Mediziner. [Text-book of botany for 

 medical students.] 420 p., 28 fig. {some colored). F. C. W. Vogel: Leipzig, 1920. [Price 

 of volume, unbound, 85 M; bound, 100 M.] — The first 57 pages are devoted to the gross mor- 

 phology of cryptogams and phanerogams, with emphasis on the latter. Anatomy is treated 

 in the following 44 pages, about equal space being given to cell study (cytology) and tissue 

 study (histology). Physiology occupies 75 pages, reproductive processes in phanerogams and 

 cryptogams as well as variability, inheritance, mutation, etc., being. included in this chapter. 

 Thirty pages are devoted to "plant chemistry," the latter treated under 15 heads according 

 to the nature of the compounds treated. Pathology occupies 35 pages, about half devoted to 

 physiological disturbances not due to parasites (discussed under 9 heads) and half to plant dis- 

 eases due to parasites, about equal space being given to plant and animal parasites. — The 

 second part of the book (150 pages) is entitled special, or systematic, botany. The entire 

 plant kingdom is treated, the enumerated forms, however, being almost exclusively those of 

 practical importance as sources of food, drugs, poisons, raw products of use in industry, and 

 the like. — All parts of the book are profusely illustrated. An extensive 20-page subject index 

 is included. — J. R. Schramm.

 argument for the establishment of a federal forestry school organized along the lines of the 

 French school at Nancy, considered the best of its kind in Europe. The curriculum, faculty, 

 terms, fees, and certain other details of organization are discussed. New South Wales, on
