Abstract
IN the issue of NATURE of this date I find the second part of Sir G. King's presidential address of Section K, Botany, delivered at the Dover meeting of the British Association. At the end of that address Sir G. King has made a strong attack on the Indian Forest Department, and on the teaching of botany at Coopers Hill College. He maintains that the forest officers trained in this country go out to India with an insufficient knowledge of systematic botany, and that they, on arrival in India, are not encouraged to familiarise themselves with the contents of the forests under their charge.
