PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND PROFESSOR CHODAT

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—Before leaving for India last week, Sir Jagadis Bose pointed out to me that the Spectator, which has taken such an interest in his researches, was not strictly accurate in a paragraph published in " Speetabilia " in your issue of August 7th, relating to the work of Professor Chodat. The latter's discovery of the excitation produced in plants by the stimulus of sexual fertilization was arrived at by Professor Chodat and his collaborators quite independently of the researches of Sir Jagadis Bose along the same lines. Sir Jagadis feels that the paragraph in question did not do justice to the work of the distinguished Swiss botanist.—I am, Sir, &c.,

F. Y.-B.
