[Abstract of an article read before the New York Microscopical Society, 
Feb. 195 1897.) 
During the twenty years of my membership in this 
society, The American Microscopical Society, and the 
Postal Ciub, I have never yet seen, on exhibition, a sec- 
tion of wheat or other grain. It seems a little remarka- 
ble that a microscopical study of such great economic im- 
portance as that of the cereal grains should be omitted.
