"British Ferns and Their Varieties," by Charles T. 

 Druery, V.M.H., F.L.S., with forty magnificent coloured 

 plates, 319 wood cuts and other illustrations, and 96 

 monochrome reprints of a selection of the choicest varieties 

 nature printed by the late Col. A. M. Jones of Clifton 

 with his original notes in extenso. In cloth 7s. 6d. net ; in 

 half morocco, gilt, los. 6d. net. 



It will interest the members to know that by the 

 enterprise of Messrs. George Routledge & Sons, Ltd., the 

 author has been enabled to realize one of the pet ambitions 

 of his life, viz., the production, on practically untrammelled 

 lines, of a thoroughly up-to-date and well illustrated record 

 of our native ferns in their specific and varietal forms, 

 together with such information as to their history, culture 

 and biological peculiarities as will render the work a 

 thorough compendium of knowledge for the amateur's 

 reference plus indications of sources of knowledge 

 valuable to those who take an interest on the scientific 

 side. The addition of an appendix consisting of ninety-six 

 of the choicest of the late Col. Jones' nature prints, 

 accompanied by his contemporary notes, which the author 

 has been kindly permitted by Miss Jones to use as a supple- 

 ment, renders this book an absolutely unique one, apart 

 from its comprehensive and practical character in other 

 directions. Certainly no British Fern lover or Botanical 

 Library should be without it as the standard work on the 

 subject, and it would be an advantage to the author (the 

 Editor of the Gazette and secretary of the British 

 Pteridological Society) if orders for it were sent to him 

 personally to his address as given elsewhere.
