STUDIES 



IN 



FOSSIL BOTANY 



BY 



D. H. SCOTT, M.A., Ph.D., F.R.S., 



HON. KEEPER OF THE JODRELL LABORATORY, 

 BOYAL GARDENS, KEW. 



With 151 Illustrations. 



" It is a great gain to botanists to have in our language so admirable 

 a presentation of the important facts connected with the structure and 

 organisation of the palaeozoic plants." Journal of Botany. 



"The book before us is a valuable contribution to the literature of 

 the subject. It is one which no student of botany can afford to 

 disregard, and its characteristics may be briefly epitomised as severe 

 accuracy, coupled with clearness of description." Pall Mail Gazette. 



"Dr. Scott does not give a table of genealogy of the plants with 

 which he deals, but contents himself with attempting to unravel 

 apparent from real points of likeness, and thus clearing the tangled 

 ground to some extent for efforts which will be more effectively made 

 when the rapidly growing knowledge of the past has arrived at greater 

 finality. It is by careful studies such as those which are detailed in 

 the volume before us that such a happy result will be obtained." 

 Dally Chronicle. 



" An excellent book. To the botanist it will appeal as a thoroughly 

 sound and scientific piece of exposition, which is a considerable con- 

 tribution to a recent and important branch of the subject." Spectator.
