Abstract
DR. INGOLD has for some time paid special attention to the discharge of spores, particularly in the group of fungi, stimulated as he gratefully acknowledges by the important contributions Prof. A. H. R. Buller has made to this subject in his six volumes of “Researches on Fungi”. Dr. Ingold's own publications have so far dealt only with fungi, but following up this interesting subject he has examined critically the spore discharge of cryptogamic land plants as a whole, and the present volume deals with the Bryophyta and Pteridophyta as well as the Fungi. It is perhaps natural considering the inception of his investigations that his latter group of plants receives preferential treatment, but we must remember also that the methods of spore liberation among fungi are more varied.
