The part devoted to systematic agrostology, or the part that gives a de- 

 scription of the different kinds, goes carefully into the morphology of leaf 

 and flower and stem, provides a discussion of ecology and accounts of all 

 the different genera that are economically important, and ends with a gen- 

 eral discussion of nomenclature as applied to grasses.
