Abstract
THE pollen content of the atmosphere is of interest in relation to general plant biology, the pollen analysis of peats and the study of allergic diseases such as hay fever and asthma. This subject was first investigated by Blackley1 in Great Britain and has since been pursued on a wide scale in the United States2. So far as is known to us, however, it has received attention from only a very few workers on the Continent of Europe3,4,5 and no such researches made in Great Britain (other than Blackley's) have been published.
