ANATOMY, whether of animals or of plants, is apt to prove dull reading if treated merely from the descriptive point of view. Such books we know; some have even been translated into English—it is hard to say why, for they are mere repositories of dry facts, and the individual dry bones, one would have thought, could well enough have been dug out of the original treatises whenever they were wanted. It is only when it is related to, or becomes part of, a larger and more philosophical scheme that anatomy becomes attractive to the ordinary scientifically minded reader who is not a specialist in the subject.Physiological Plant Anatomy.By Prof. G.
