(M.) BOTANY. 



The Primary Divisions adopted correspond to the recognised 

 branches of the science of Botany. It has not been thought 

 desirable to adopt a taxonomic arrangement throughout, as in 

 Zoology, because a large part of the work done in Botany is 

 written from other than taxonomic points of view, and could not 

 be readily classed under taxonomic headings. In particular, the 

 whole subject of Vegetable Physiology is included under Botany, 

 whilst Animal Physiology forms a distinct science by itself. On 

 this account, in many cases cross references, by means of 

 duplicate slips, will be necessary. 



it is considered essentia] that all works on fossil plants should 

 appear in the Botany scheme, as well as under the separate 

 science of Palaeontology (K). Keferences to PalaBobotanical 

 works are intended to be distributed under their appropriate 

 headings in the scheme, whether taxonomic or otherwise, such 

 works being indicated by a special mark (such as a f ), identical 

 with that used to indicate fossils in Zoology. If a slip relate 

 both to recent and fossil forms it should be marked*|. Thus a 

 paper on the "Anatomy of the Stem of Lepidodendron" would 

 be catalogued under 2040 (Anatomy of Stem), and under 6700 

 (Vascular Cryptogams), as well as in the Palseontological 

 scheme. The stratigraphical grouping of entries relating to 

 Fossils will, of course, be left exclusively to Palseontology.
