Abstract
UNDER the title of “Vegetationsbilder,” Messrs. Gustav Fischer, of Jena, announce a series of photographic reproductions which will illustrate characteristic types of vegetation. Each part, consisting of six plates and the explanatory text, will be devoted to one region or formation, and will be complete in itself. The photographs were taken by Drs. Schenck and Karsten, who undertake the arrangement of the work. The first and second parts now received depict the scenery of South Brazil and of the Malay Archipelago; other parts of the eight projected will illustrate botanical features of South-West Africa, Mexico, tropical economic plants, &c. The photographs are reproduced nearly full-plate size, and recall the illustrations of Schimper's “Pflanzengeographie,” which is published by the same firm.
