Dr. Borojevic's note in No. 4 of WIS is a valuable supplement to my paper cited above, as far as concerning the extent and distribution of the two crops mentioned. According to my correspondence with the colleagues in Zagreb (see foot-note in No. 3, p. 1) it seemed evident for me to have got, beside the valuable material, complete informations regarding the places where Einkorn and Emmer are still grown. It will be of interest to follow the slow or quick vanishing of these old cereals from this last refuge in Europe. But the note in No. 4 neither changes nor adds anything in principle to my notes on climate, soil and use in No. 3, p. 2. The manifold types described in my paper, valuable theoretically and for breeding purposes have been transmitted to the Cereal Collections of Vogelsang and Gatersleben.
