Abstract
PROF. HANSGIRG has written a big book that may have its use as a work of reference, but it certainly Cannot be described as possessing an interest commensurate with its, bulk. Long periods often extend over more than half a page, and are quite unbroken save for the commas delimiting the innumerable subordinate clauses that serve to qualify or; define the main idea. An effort is made to classify the various kinds of leaves into different biological groups, and then the various types of leaves met with in different natural orders are successively indicated. As an example of the method, the case of the cricoid leaf-form may be cited. The type is briefly described, and then follows a list of plants, extending over eight pages, that are grouped under it.
