Abstract
I AM glad to see that Mr. Jamieson does recognise the necessity of some proof of his assertion that nitrogen has been fixed by the plants he has been examining; he now says that “it may now be forthcoming.” When Mr. Jamieson's “may” has been converted into “is,” chemists and botanists may begin to consider his speculations as to how the process is effected. For let us bear clearly in mind that Mr. Jamieson's theories only deal with the question of how the nitrogen is fixed; that it is fixed at all he takes for granted.
