ABSTRACT IT would be difficult to overestimate the influence of the two great German professors, Anton De Bary and Julius Sachs, on the progress of botany. At a time when many fundamental

ideas were only beginning to take shape, these advanced workers and leaders of thought attracted a succession of brilliant students from many European countries, who absorbed in Strassburg

and Würzburg the doctrines and inspirations of their masters, and eventually spread abroad the new theories and conceptions that are now regarded as the foundations of botanical science.

Amongst this band of eager students was the Belgian, Léo Errera, who entered first De Bary's laboratory in 1897, and subsequently sought further experience under the tutelage of Sachs.

Two important results can be traced to these courses of foreign study. In the first place, intercourse with such gifted teachers and with brilliant colleagues helped to stimulate the

energies of an already keen enthusiast, and to pave the way for future friendships and associations. In the second place, his interests were diverted from systematic to chemico-physiological

botany, which became one of the chief lines of research at the University of Brussels. Notice sur Léo Errera. By L. Fredericq J. Massart. Pp. 153. (Bruxelles: H. Lamertin; London: Williams
