Abstract: DR. TH. HERZOG has produced a monograph of Io8 pages with ninety-three text figures upon the anatomy of the liverworts, and in this space it would appear possible to give a very complete report of progress in this very specialised field. There is, how ever, no mention of mycorhiza, and some important American work is not discussed. The work is divided into three sections. In the first there is a description of the various types of differentiated cell reported in the group, and it is striking how frequently these differentiated elements are to be found in thalloid forms. This section is followed by two further sections, dealing with the anatomy of gametophyte and sporophyte respectively, in which each group of the liverworts is passed in review in turn.Handbuch der Pflanzenanatomie.Prof.K.Linsbauer.
