398 REPORT— 1885. 
T ventured, however, to take the liberty of revising the species in the 
first volume before closing it, and then intimated to my friend Professor 
Wiltshire that, if desired, I would endeavour to continue the work alone 
or, alternatively, relinquish it. 
Tam very glad it was not decided to relinquish it, although a heavy 
burden fell on my shoulders, and one which I felt the greatest possible 
diffidence and hesitation in undertaking. Since then the study of only 
one group of plants—the Gymnosperms—has been the serious business of 
the past three years; for not only have I had to study, but in the 
majority of cases to find the specimens as well. A comparison of the 
Conifer known to occur in our Tertiaries before the publication of my 
Monograph and since will indicate the extent of progress that T trust — 
will be made if I am able to continue the work.
