As the occurrence of these Mallophaga in any region 

 is entirely a matter of host distribution it has seemed 

 unnecessary to give detailed local records under each.

We welcome an up-to-date edition of this excellent standard work on 

 our British Flora. Few words are necessary to recommend this volume 

 to the student and field botanist. It is essentially a reprint of the last 

 edition, but the nomenclature has been thoroughly revised in accordance 

 with the latest ideas, while an appendix has been added which includes 

 the most important additions to our knowledge of British flowering plants. 

 To those readers who are unfamiliar with " Babington," it may be 

 interesting to point out that the work has several features peculiarly its 

 own, e.g., an excellent, though concise, account of the various aquatic 

 forms of Crowfoot {Ramniadus), and fairly exhaustive accounts of the 

 difficult genera Rubus, Rosa, and Hieracium, founded upon the mono- 

 graphs of Babington, Moyle Rogers, and Hanbury. By the use of thin 

 India paper, rounded corners, and good flexible binding, this masterly 

 volume, although containing over 600 pages, slips easily into the ordinary 

 coat pocket, and may thus be carried with the utmost convenience into 

 the field.
