Abstract
IN a book of some three hundred pages, beautifully produced and amply illustrated, Prof. Bower has now given us his considered views on the classification of the higher ferns. Both author and publishers are to be congratulated on this work, the former on his consistent treatment of a truly difficult subject which has long called for revision, and the latter on the dignity of the volume itself.
The Ferns (Filicales); treated comparatively with a View to their Natural Classification.
Vol. 3: The Leptosporangiate Ferns. By Prof. F. O. Bower. Pp. viii + 306 + 2 plates. (Cambridge: At the University Press, 1928.) 30s. net.
