(Kjobenhavn, pp. x -\- 463 and 4 additional illustrations). Fol- 

 lowed the next year by a German edition entitled Grundzilge einer 

 allgemeinen Pflanzengeographie (Berlin, pp. xix + 528 and 4 additional 

 illustrations). Of historical interest. 



Rudolph, L. (1853) : Die Pflanzendecke der Erde (Berlin, pp. xiv + 416 

 and additional plates ; also * Supplementheft ' of 34 pages, published

 geographique des plantes de Vepoque actiielle (Paris & Geneve, vol. I, 

 pp. xxxii -|- 606 and additional maps, and vol. II, pp. 607-1366).

 historical interest. 



Grisebach, a. (1877-8) : La Vegetation du Globe d'apres la disposition

 xiv -t" 386 and additional map). Includes suggested explanations of 

 plant distribution but was soon in part superseded. Vol. I, published

 sphere, and vol. II, published in 1882, with the tropical regions and 

 the remainder of the southern hemisphere.

 differences and their effect on local flora. 



GoEZE, E. (1882) : Pflanzengeographie filr Gartner und Freunde des 

 Gartenbaues (Ulmer, Stuttgart, pp. xiv + 476). A general treat- 

 ment, primarily but by no means exclusively for horticulturists.

 gart, pp. xvi -|- 582 and additional map). A general manual, illustrated 

 chiefly by maps, of the subject as then developed, by a renowned 

 investigator of the time. Followed in 1897 by a French edition 

 entitled Manuel de Geographic Botanique (Klincksieck, Paris, pp. 

 xxiii + 552).
