Glossary occupies 14 pages, and contains about 900 definitions of 
technical terms, which cannot fail to be of the greatest use to 
the student of plant-life. The Index, however, is a magnum

59 pages, and contains about 14,000 references, or about 6,000 
more than the German edition. Such an admirable work as 
this must appeal to every lover of plants, and we feel sure that 
all who become possessed of it, and take the trouble— or rather 
the pleasure — of reading it, will feel that they have learned 
something worth knowing about the wonderful workings of plant- 
life.
