Abstract
AN informative record of the work of the John Innes Horticultural Institution, Merton, London, S.W.19, from 1910 (the time of its foundation) until 1935, has recently been published. The record opens with a brief survey of the history of the Institution, which was founded by John Innes, a merchant of the City of London. At the beginning, the scope of the work there consisted mainly of genetics, but was later extended to include cytology, biochemistry, mycology, X-ray work and further special investigations. The first director was Dr. W. Bateson, who was succeeded by the present director, Sir Daniel Hall. A very useful list of staff and other workers, who have been at the Institution during the past twenty-five years, is included. Their past and present professional appointments are given. This list is followed by lists of present and past members of the garden staff, and these are followed by a valuable bibliography of publications by the staff, past and present.
