Abstract

THE work before us is another evidence of Prof. Strasburger's untiring industry and minute research. Interesting as all his books have been, this one may be said to surpass its predecessors in this respect, inasmuch as the questions with which it deals are of such fundamental importance in botanical science. The main object of the researches here published is to throw light upon two difficult and much-discussed points, namely, the intimate structure of organised bodies, and the mode of growth of cell-walls and starch-grains. With regard to the researches themselves it need only be said that they appear to have been carried out with Prof. Strasburger's accustomed thoroughness and accuracy, and that they are abundantly illustrated by beautiful drawings. The conclusions deduced from them are so remarkable that a brief résumé will not be out of place.
