described in the same detail in a forthcoming volume. 
In such case the introductory notes to the present volume 
will be extended to asummary of some of the other features 
of plant-life, illustrated by the different types of natural 
orders ; and to the conditions of nutrition, growth, assimi- 
lation, reproduction, the functions of the plant; as well as 
to their form and structure and natural history, illustrated 
by diagrams, classification, evolution, their geographical 
distribution, the types of plant-formation, and their origin.
