Abstract
THE publication of this book is, in some respects, a noteworthy event, as it is the first reasonably complete treatise on plant physiology published by a British author since the work of Vines in 1886. The enormous development of the literature of the subject during that period is illustrated by the long list of references included in this volume. This consists almost entirely of the more important papers published since that date. The present volume, therefore, deals almost exclusively with the plant physiology of the last fifty years.
