Taxonomists are deeply indebted to Prof. Sargent for the 
wealth of information on ligneous plants which in his various fine 
works he has rendered accessible to them. In “ Trees and Shrubs ” 
the same high character which distinguishes all the publications 
with which his name is associated as author or editor is maintained, 
and we trust that. for many years to come he will be able and 
willing to continue it.
