INTRODUCTION TO THE REPORTS ON INSULAR FLORAS. 69 



BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



The botanical books and articles enumerated below are of two kinds : the one consisting 

 of works on Insular Floras, the other of Floras of Continents, to which references are 

 given in the Reports to descriptions, geographical distribution, and other information 

 concerning the plants which inhabit insular situations. Thus, in the Report on the 

 Botany of the Bermudas, references are given to Chapman's Flora of the Southern United 

 States, to Grisebach's Flora of the British West Indies, and to Gray's Manual of the 

 Botany of the Northern United States, &c, the object being, not so much to adduce 

 authorities for the distribution of species, as to guide the reader to descriptions and fuller 

 synonymy of them. The immense collections at Kew and the British Museum have 

 afforded much nearer complete data on the range of many of the species than has hitherto 

 been published, though we have sometimes been obliged to rely on the writings of other 

 botanists for details : on Miquel, for instance, respecting the distribution of some species 

 in the Malayan Archipelago. 



The present list is not offered as an exhaustive one of the literature dealing with our 

 subject, for it was only an afterthought to include it ; but we hope we have not over- 

 looked any work of importance, as there was no intention of making a selection. The 

 titles of a number of minor and subsidiary works referred to, or from which extracts are 

 given in the Introductory Notes to the vegetation of the various islands, are not repeated 

 here, because it seemed wholly unnecessary.
