Abstract
THE author of this important work is a well-known authority on ocean currents and the geographical distribution of plants. His earlier writings on the geology and natural history of the Solomon Islands and the Cocos Keeling Islands, and his more recent work on “Plant Dispersal,” contain the results of many years' patient and exhaustive investigations in the Pacific region. In the present volume he deals in an equally thorough and careful manner with the numerous problems connected with plant distribution in the Atlantic region and embodies results of great scientific interest.
