Abstract
THE present work owes its origin to a course of lectures delivered at University College in 1896. In appealing to a wider audience, Dr. Scott has rendered an important service to biological science, and has placed before the botanical student some of the most striking results of palæobotanical investigation, which cannot fail to demonstrate, even to the most sceptical, the supreme value of fossil records from the evolutionary standpoint. The author expressly states in the preface that his object has by no means been to write a manual of fossil botany, “but to present to the botanical reader those results of patæontological inquiry which appear to be of fundamental importance from the botanist's point of view.”
