Abstract
A TRUSTWORTHY work on the British Hepatiæ has long been needed by those who are interested in this somewhat difficult group of plants. Since the appearance of Sir W. J. Hooker's “British Jungermanniæ” in 1816, we have had no treatise on our native species that can be regarded as either up-to-date or as of much use to the student. A beginning was made some years ago by Dr. Carrington in cooperation with the author of the volumes before us, but, unfortunately, the attempt was not destined to meet with success, and the enterprise was abandoned at an early stage of its publication.
The Hepaticae of the British Isles, being Figures and Descriptions of all Known British Species.
By William Henry Pearson. Vol. i. text, vol ii. plates. Pp. vi + 520, and vii + plates 218. (London: Lovell Reeve and Co., Ltd., 1902.) Price 7l. 10s. net.
