Abstract
A BOOK by Prof. Strasburger, entitled “Das botanische Practicum,” has recently been reviewed in NATURE, and recognised as a most valuable addition to botanical literature. The same author has now produced a condensed edition of the same book under the heading given above. The more important of the facts distributed through the 600 pages of the first and larger edition are here collected into the smaller space of 250 pages, an arrangement which is obviously better suited to beginners, It was specially remarked in the review of the larger edition that the efficient study of the various types named would occupy the average student a longer time than the author of the book appeared to think. This smaller edition will obviate the difficulty by supplying the elementary student with a shorter course of study, while the larger book will no doubt be found more useful as a book of reference for more advanced students, or as providing a curriculum for those who will make botany their profession. The merits of good type and excellent illustrations are to be found in this smaller book in as high a degree as in the earlier and larger edition.
