Abstract
THE chief contributions to the study of the secondary wood of plants have been made by students of forestry, amongst which the names of Nördlinger, Hartig, Brandis, Gamble, and of many men connected with the Indian Forestry Department, deserve our respect. The school of Radlkofer (especially Solereder) has done good work in connection with the structure of the primary wood, which throws many sidelights upon that of the secondary wood, yet there is much less help to be derived from their studies than one would suppose, because there is frequently much difference in the structure of the two classes of tissue.
