By CHARLES J. CHAMBERLAIN, A.M., PH_D., Instructor in Botany in the University of Chicago 
A CONSTANT HELP to Teachers and Students of Botany 
CONTAINS DIRECTIONS FOR COLLECTING AND PREPARING 
PLANT MATERIAL FOR MICROSCOPIC INVESTIGATION 
T is based upon a course in botanical micro-technique, and is the first complete manual to 
be published on this subject. It is the result of several years’ work with classes in residence 
at the University of Chicago, and with University Extension classes away from the 
versity. It aims, therefore, to meet the requirements, not only of the student who 
ance of an instructor ina fully equipped laboratory, but also the student who must work by eo 
and with limited apparatus. Free-hand sectioning, the paraffin method, the collodion method, 
and the glycerine method, are treated in considerable detail. In later chapters specific direc- 
tions are given for making such preparations as are needed by wea : h 
plant kingdom from the algze up to the flowering plants. Special attention is paid tot oar 
ing of karyokinetic figures, because the student who masters this problem will find little difficulty 
In differentiating other structures. Formulas are given for the reagents commonly used in t 
histological laborato y: i
