Abstract
WORKERS everywhere in systematic botany will welcome the appearance of this, the third, supplement of the Kew Index. We now have a register of the generic and specific names of seed-plants up to and including the year 1905—a boon to workers which only those can adequately appreciate who remember the period when there was no Kew Index. The supplement follows closely the plan of the original work—would that those concerned could be persuaded to make one small but valuable improvement! namely, the inclusion of the date of publication in all the references to the original descriptions, as is now done only in the case of periodicals.
