Abstract
THE valuable series of memoirs on plant-geography edited by Profs. Engler and Drude under the title “Die Vegetation der Erde” is familiar to every well-equipped botanist. But, as Prof. A. G. Tansley remarks in his editorial preface to the present volume, it is scarcely creditable to the Empire which possess in its dominions, colonies, and dependencies more varied vegetation than any other political entity, that Dr. Leonard Cockayne found himself obliged to publish his work on New Zealand in the German series. It is hoped that Dr. Turrill's memoir on the plant-life of the Balkan Peninsula may inaugurate a channel of publication to be known as the Oxford Memoirs on Plant Geography, and that the enterprise will be adequately supported.

By Dr. W. B. Turrill. (Oxford Memoirs on Plant Geography.) Pp. xxiii + 490 + 10 plates. (Oxford: At the Clarendon Press; London: Oxford University Press, 1929.) 30s. net.
