Are the researches of the botanist of interest to the anatomist and vice versa? Should we attempt to coordinate and correlate the two, and, if so, how far can we go? Though these questions have never been directly attacked, con- siderable difference of opinion is apparent in the literature. Suffice it to say that Pensa ('14, p. 22) states that the mitochon- dria in plant and animal cells are not identical; Guilliermond ('130, p. 481) and Smirnow ('06, p. 153) think that they are; Duesberg and Hoven ('10, p. 99) believe them to be homologous; while Sapehin ('15, p. 320) holds an intermediate view. He thinks that in the higher plants mitochondria-like forms may be divided into two groups: "plastids" and "chondriosomes" which, however, are indistinguishable in the early meristem. I have devoted my whole attention to this single problem of the relationship of plant and animal mitochondria with the hope of obtaining results which are clear-cut, concise and definite, bringing to bear upon it old, as well as entirely new, methods of technique in the form of supravital dyes of the janus green series which have never before been applied to plant cells. OBSERVATIONS. The statements concerning the similarity or the dissimilarity of plant and animal mitochondria have been made, with but few notable exceptions, by investigators having personal experi-. ;«s£-::.
