' The discussion here given of the physics of the rise of the transpiration stream is fragmen- tary and incomplete, but it has not seemed advisable to attempt to render it much more thorough in the limited space to which editorial notes should be restricted in a translation such as the present volume. The notes that have been added to this section aim to place before the student the main points omitted by the author, and to "give references to the literature, so that the best treatments, of the modern phase of this much-discussed problem may be read. The writings of Dixon, Rennet and J. B. Overton, cited in note r, p. 133, should be referred to, at any rate. The existing text-books are all unsatisfactory in regard to this subject, the Dixon theory not yet having been adequately incorporated into any of them.— Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Palladin, Vladimir Ivanovich, 1859-1922; Livingston, Burton Edward, 1875-; Hopping, Aleita, 1890-.
