Abstract
(1) IN being a true biology, “Living Things” makes a definite claim to freshness, and thus commands the attention of teachers. Animals and plants are in close conjunction with each other, and the author makes no attempt to segregate them artificially. Of course, this is how they should be treated: nevertheless, the author is to be congratulated in having done what many biological authors have neglected to do.
