2 THE JOURNAL OF INDIAN BOTANY. 



hoped that these abstracts will be a regular feature of the Journal, 

 and be of use in keeping' Indian workers in touch with what is being 

 done elsewhere. 



Finally the editor appeals for subscriptions from all botanists 

 in India, and from those in other countries who are likely to find 

 work done here of interest or help ; for to justify itself the Journal 

 must pay its way. 



Here, then, is a simple statement of our aims and wants in con- 

 nection with the Journal ; Guarantor, Editor and Publisher are 

 prepared to do their share to make the Journal a success, it is up to 

 Botanists in India to do theirs. 



The Honorary Editor.
