finer examples of fern photography have ever been produced. Dr. Waters

study, and the book may be expected to prove of permanent scientific 
value as well as to satisfy a want which existing treatises have but imper-

This book is the result of a revision and elaboration of the author’s 
‘Elementary Botany.” The general plan of the parts on physiology and 
general morphology remains unchanged. Considerable new matter bes 
been added, however, in the physiological part, especially on the subjects 
of nutrition and digestion, and the subject of the morphology of fertiliza- 
tion in the gymnosperms and angiosperms has been revised to bring this 
abreast of the discoveries of the past few years. The greatest improve- 
ment has been 1n the complete reorganization, rewriting, and elaboration 
of the part dealing with ecology, which has been made possible by studies 
of recent years, so that the subject can be presented in a more logical and 
coherent form.
