The nomenclature followed by Mrs. Dunham is that of Brotherus 

 in Die Natiirlichen PflanzenJ ami-lien. Synonyms are given wherever 

 deemed desu'able and the generic names have been divided into sylla- 

 bles and accented to show their pronunciation according to the cus- 

 tomary English method of pronouncing Latin. 



The reviewer would recommend this book particularly to all who 

 are interested in knowing something of mosses in the field, whether 

 amateur or more technical bryologists, and it is believed and hoped 

 that the book will interest large numbers of people in the mosses because 

 of its suitability both for the amateur and for high-school and college 

 students who, in their school work, would have but little time to devote 

 to learning to recognize the species. — 0. E. Jennings.
