Methods in Plant Histology 
By CHARLES J. CHAMBERLAIN 
Instructor in Botany in the University of Chicago 
Nas many teachers and students of botany who already know Professor 
Chamberlain’s book will welcome the new and enlarged edition. It is 
ie only book that gives full directions for the collection and preparation of 
wtanical material for the microscope. The various methods of mounting are 
weated in detail, special prominence being now given to the Venetian turpentine 
method and to improvements in the paraffin method. Microchemical tests, 
free-hand sectioning, the use of the microscope, and the securing of repro- 
iuttive stages in the simpler forms of plant life receive particular attention in 
lienew edition. While intended for college classes, the book will be of great 
ssistance to high-school teachers and amateurs. 
This revised and enlarged edition, which was placed on the market Novem- 
ber I, is practically a new book. It is the result of ten years’ work. It aims to 
meet the needs, not only of the student who has the assistance of an instructor 
Bs fully equipped laboratory, but also of the student who must work alone 
mth limited apparatus.
