76 THE AMERICAN BOTANIST 



rarer 



with main- all but inaccessible spots in which the rai 

 species will doubtless long be preserved from extinction. 

 The "Flora" will be an invaluable guide to the plants of 

 a region much wider than the title indicates and will long 

 stand as a monument to the painstaking labor of its maker. 

 The book awakens many pleasant memories in the mind 

 of the reviewer who has visited many of the localities men- 

 tioned in the company of the author. 



The Controller of His British Majesty's Stationery 

 Office, which has heretofore published the Kew Bulletin of 

 Miscellaneous Information has ruled that this publication is 

 not necessary during the war and it has consequently been 

 suspended. We very much regret that this old and im- 

 portant publication has been forced to cease its activities 

 and we trust that the end of the war will see it again in 

 the field. Xo nation can hope to remain long in the run- 

 ning if it proposes to ignore the advances in botanical 

 science.
