Abstract
THE fourth volume of this attractive publication is devoted entirely to botany. The descriptions by Dr. W. H. Lang of some common plants flowering in the spring and summer appeared in the previous volume; the continuation refers to plants that flower later in the year and others of special morphological interest, such as the honeysuckle, dodder, sundew, and types of trees. The Scots pine serves as a representative gymnosperm, while a brief account of pollination and seed dispersal closes Dr. Lang's contributions. His precise and orderly descriptions provide excellent models for a student to emulate.
