Grundlagen und Ergebnisse der Pflanzenchemie. Parts ii. and iil. 
y Professor HuLER, University of Stockholm. 
Tue present volume is the completion of the treatise the first 
ae of which was reviewed last year (Journ. Bot. 1908, 398). 
t includes two parts, the first of which deals with the general 
world. 
The author has made a praiseworthy effort to do justice to his 
subject, but while his presentation from the chemist’ i 
is satisfactory he has not bee 
the field of the physiologist. His treatment of the physical laws 
governing metabolism is comprehensive, but considerations of 
space prevent him from adequately discussing their bearings. The 
. goes so 
far, indeed, as to speculate upon the molecular structure and 
orientation of the living protoplasm. 
The effort to cover so much ground has given rise to a certain 
incompleteness in his presentation of the work of recent years. 
t is strange that the researches of English workers are in many 
cases ignored, and discoveries made by them are attributed to 
Continental writers of later date. Nor are all his references to 
etail 
wished. At the same time the work, even with the limitations it 
displays, must be of considerable assistance to a large class of 
aders. \

We have here a German translation of the memoir by Prof. 
Lindman which appeared in a volume issued in 1907 by the Roya 
Swedish Academy of Science, on the celebration of the two 
hundredth anniversary of the birthday of Linné.
