ABSTRACT WE have received vol. 3, Nos. 1 and 2 of Botany and Zoology, Theoretical and Applied, from Japan. It is a monthly publication, and these two numbers contain 364 ami 176 pages

respectively. The papers are illustrated and cover every phase of biology, but with the exception of one paper by Prof. Crozier, of Harvard University, they are entirely in Japanese. Only

the scientific names and the names of Western authors are given in European characters, except one paper printed in J apanese using the Western alphabet ! It seems a pity that papers, many

of which are evidently of considerable general interest, should thus be cut off from Western science. Even Esperanto, which is occasionally being used by the Japanese in their scientific

publications, would be preferable as a medium of publication if it is intended to attract the interest of biologists outside Japan. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a
