The Structure and Development of the Mosses and Ferns

Abstract

BOTANISTS have been waiting with considerable expectation for the appearance of Prof. Campbell's book on the Archegoniate Series of Cryptogams. Neither the mosses nor the ferns and their allies have been comprehensively treated for some years, and thus, whilst much individual work has been accomplished in this department within recent times, it has become exceedingly difficult for those whose special interests happen to lie in other directions, to keep abreast of the ever-flowing tide of information respecting these most important families of plants.

The Structure and Development of the Mosses and Ferns.

By Douglas Houghton Campbell, Professor of Botany in the Leland Stanford Junior University. Pp. vi + 544. (London: Macmillan and Co., 1895.)
