tube lined with leaves, and exposed to bright light. After slowly 

 traversing the tube, the air is made to bubble through baryta-water, 

 which is said to rt-main clear, while a current of the same rapidity 

 passed through an empty tube clouds the solution. It will puzzle 

 the reader to understand how evolution of oxygen is thereby 

 demonstrated. In the experiments on the nutrition of Fungi, 

 some explanation of "steriUse" and "sterile," with brief directions 

 for the process, would have been a vahiable addition. 



There is one other point to which we would call attention in 

 this excellent little manual, to wit, the expression destarched, an 

 us;ly word, recalling the equally offensive "detrain." Of course 

 we should have liked twice as many illustrations, but these un- 

 fortunately seriously increase the price of a book. ^^ g_ ^
