Abstract
THE authors have set themselves no small task in attempting to provide a pictorial presentation of the natural vegetation of the whole world. The present volume, the second in the series but the first to be published, deals with the phytogeographical region of the European Mittelgebirge of Engler's classification. It is stated that some further ‘centuries’ of photographs are contemplated of this province alone. If the intention is to deal with all regions of the world on the same scale, the work will indeed be monumental, and the cost of so many ‘centuries’, at twenty-eight shillings and sixpence each, will not be within the reach of many individuals.
