Compendium of the Cybele Britatmica ; or, Sritish Plants in their 

 Geographical Relations. By Hewett Cottrell Watson. Part 

 Third. Pp. 425-651. Thames Ditton. Printed for private 

 distribution. 1870. 



It is certainly a matter for congratulation that we ha-ve among us a 

 botanist who has always been ready and willing to 5pend so much 

 time, labour, and money as Mr. Watson has done in the furtherance 

 of British topographical botany. He has now brought to a conclusion 

 this useful ' Compendium,' the several portions of which, with his 

 usual liberality, he has distributed, as printed, amongst those botanists 

 whose addresses he knew. The whole will be shortly published in one 

 volume, and obtainable for ten shillings. It is indispensable to all 

 interested in our flora, who may be considered fortunate in possessing 

 a trustworthy and comprehensive treatise such as no other country can 

 boast of, and which is, indeed, consulted by the botanists of all lands 

 who turn their attention to plant distribution.
