Abstract
THIS ponderous volume contains a selection of papers published in various scientific journals from 1885 to 1900 by the late Léo Errera and other Belgian botanists. There are a few short communications by Errera at the beginning of the volume of a general nature, such as those on the law of the conservation of life, spontaneous generation, and the mechanism of sleep. The volume is mainly a collection of papers on plant cytology and on the physiology of organisms of simple structure. Workers specially interested in these branches will appreciate the advantage of associating in one volume a number of papersi scattered through many different journals, but as all these journals are fairly accessible the production of a great mass of reprints may seem somewhat extravagant in view of the difficulties attending scientific publication at the present time.
