✦ Synopsis

A general method for combining information froin similar experiments is illustrated in the case where two independent experiments are designed to estimate a dose-response curve. By accounting for variability acrosa experiments, the proposed method avoids inferential pitfalls such as extended forms of Simpson's paradox. The validity of the method is supported by seven fundamental assumptions about data from replicated experiments. I n contrast, an example indicates that failing to reject a preliminary test of equal distributions is inadequate justification for pooling data from two experiments. Methods that account for the variability across experiments in terms of known covariatea are also discussed.

## Abstract Cyclic oxidation testing at elevated temperatures requires careful experimental design and the adoption of standard procedures to ensure reliable data. This is a major aim of the ‘COTEST’ research programme. Further, as such tests are both time consuming and costly, in terms of human ef

The cultivation of hydrastis**This article is written in the first person, and, by request of the editor, gives facts concerning Hydrastis culture as observed in my own experimentations, corroborated by others known to me personally. No attempt has therefore been made to embody the experiences of persons who have heretofore printed articles on the subject, nor have my own previous publications, or my own photographs and detail notes'been used at all, excepting briefly. The cuts, excepting those showing the Hydrastis farm of Dr. Homsher, are from Drugs and Medicines of North America, 1884, or from others of my previous prints on the subject. The object being to present the problem so as to save to others experimental wanderings, I must yet urge the reader who proposes to enter the field of Hydrastis culture, to study carefully the Bulletins issued OR this subject by the Agricultural Department of the United States Government, especially the admirable pamphlet of Miss Alice Henkel and G. Fred Klugh, of the Bweau of Plant Industry.-L.
