ARTICLES IN JOURNALS 351 



In the first part of the book the prhiciples involved in the pro- 

 cesses of kilHng, fixing, and staining are discussed, methods are 

 explained in detail, and the preparation and idiosyncrasies of the 

 more important reagents and staining fluids are described. 



The second part consists of a series of specific cases illustrating 

 the methods described in the earlier pages. Familiar and commonly 

 studied examples are selected from the important plant groups from 

 Thallophytes upwards, and methods suggested in each case by 

 which the most information may be obtained from the specimens. 

 The subject-matter is illustrated by figures made from preparations 

 obtained by the methods suggested. ^ j3^ ^
