Lichens in this classification are distributed under the discomyce- 
tous, pyrenomycetous and basidiomycetous fungi, the larger part fall- 
ing under the me: Angiosperme are divided into only two sub- 
groups: Archi d Symipetale,the former including the Poly- 
petalz and most of the Apetale, and the latter the Gamopetal, as 
heretofore classified. 
The citations of literature throughout the work are grouped at the 
end of each subject. There are three unusually full indexes, one of 
illustrations, one of subjects and one of plant names. 
The work is a valuable addition to the present list of textbooks of 
botany. One can only regret that it is not also published in the ged 
lish language.
