Abstract
I NOTICE that in a review of a “Manual of British Discomycetes” which appeared in NATURE on February 9 (p. 340), and apparently also in that work itself, the word micromillimetre is used as equivalent to the thousandth of a millimetre. I have made some inquiry, and am told that it is now commonly employed by biologists, and especially by botanists, with that meaning.
