Abstract
DR. JAKOB ERIKSSON describes in a lengthened paper the protomeristem of the roots of Dicotyledons, and directs attention to the four great types of structure observable in these roots. In the first type the apex consists of three separate zones of meristem: the plerome, periblem, and dermocalyptrogen. In the second type only two zones are present: the plerome and a common zone for primary cortex, epidermis, and rootcap. In the third type there is a common meristem zone from which all the others develop; while in the fourth there are two zones, the periblem and the plerome. Two additional types are met with in Monocotyledons: (1) in which there are four zones of meristem: calyptrogen, dermatogen, peroblem, and plerome; and (2) in which there are three zones: the calyptrogen, the plerome, and a common zone for cortex and epidermis.
