 Press: Cambridge, 1020.] Nature 106: 337-338. 1020. — Since the previous volume, the editor 

 has left England and the artist has died. Increased cost of production has necessitated rais- 

 ing the price to nearly 3 times that of the original. Notes by Moss on arrangement, limita- 

 tions of families, etc., are of considerable interest, though sometimes difficult of appreciation 

 by the ordinary student, who may consider the elevation of Actaea and Paeonia to the rank 

 of families as puzzling and unnecessary. [See also Bot. Absts. 8, Entry 2232.] — 0. A. Stevens.
