Abstract
IN a series of papers, Dr. Franz Moewus, working first at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institut für Biologie in Berlin, and later at Erlangen and Heidelberg, has published a number of very remarkable results on relative sexuality in unicellular algæ. The qualitative results are in agreement with those of other workers of the same school. We wish, however, to direct attention to a feature of his quantitative data which casts grave doubt on their reliability.
