•'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 cxtenso. In cloth ys. 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 Colonel Jones' nature prints, accompanied by his 

 contemporary notes, which the author has been kindly permitted by 

 Miss Jones to use as a supplement, 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 

 II, Shaa Road Acton W.
