Professors Eduard Strasburger, Fritz Noll, Heinrich Schenck, and A. F. W. Schimper. The death of Professor Strasburger since the last English edition was published renders it inaccurate to give his name as an author of the work. His position as the original founder of the text-book requires to be recorded and is therefore indicated by the nameS trasburger sT ext-B ook, which has been in current use in this country. In the present edition the division on Morphology is by Professor Fitting, that on Physiology by Professor Jost, that on Thallophyta, Bryophyta, and Pteridophyta by Professor Schenck, and that onS permatophyta by Professor Karsten. Their names are therefore given as the authors on the title-page. The first edition of theE nglish translation was the work of Dr. H. C. Porter, Assistant Instructor of Botany, University of Pennsylvania. The proofs of this edition were revised by Professor Seward, M.A., F.E.S. The secondE nglish edition was based upon Dr. Porter stranslation, which was revised with the fifth German edition. The third English edition was revised with the eighth German edition, and the fourth English edition with the tenth German edition. The present edition has been similarly revised throughout with the fourteenth German edition. Such extensive changes, including the substitution of completely new sections on Morphology, Physiology, andS permatophyta, have, however, been made in the work since it was first translated that it seems advisable to give in outline the history of the 4812.
