base and sides." Finally, Hippophce rhamnoidcs arrives, the east coast 

 of Lincolnshire being discussed. These are the stabilizers of the es- 

 tablished "meals," as the marine hills are called in Lincolnshire, in 

 contradistinction to the inland eolian dunes. 



In the case of pure shingle beaches, another series of plants comes 

 in. Riimcx trigraniilatus, Silcnc maritima, Glaucium luteum, and 

 Crambc maritima are the palisade type of shingle-holders, along with 

 4renaria pcploidcs: also the mat plants aid, namely, Calystegia soldan- 

 clla and Lathynis maritimiis ; but the most important shingle plant is 

 Suadcda frnticosa, of whose great value and use there is a very full 

 and detailed account given. Other species useful for this work of 

 binding the dunes are : Tamarix gallica, Salix rcpcns, Lycium chi- 

 iiense, Ulcx, Cytisiis, Cratccgus, Ilex, Prunus, and Rosa canina. Then 

 the following trees are suggested: Alnns incana, Piiius laricio, P. 

 aiistriaca, P. i)isigiiis, and Cupressus macrocarpa, while P. sylvestris 

 and Picea excelsa and alba are spoken of for special purposes ; nor are 

 the sycamore, wych elm, walnut, and holm oak forgotten, but for some 

 reason the seaside pine, P. pinaster, has been overlooked. 



The plants winning the salt marsh from the tidal waters and making 

 it into land are treated almost as fully as the sand and shingle species. 



The volume is well illustrated. We consider that its usefulness 

 would be greatly increased by the addition of a glossary giving the 

 meaning of unusual local and technical terms.
