Stone's Flora of Southern New Jersey* 
Most botanists who see the work here described will doubtless 
be surprised to find that one of the best local floras ever published 
has been written by a man who is primarily an ornithologist, 
and issued by an institution which has not previously figured as 
a producer of botanical literature. As the book lacks a table of 
contents, a synopsis is subjoined which will probably give the 
reader a clearer idea of its scope than would the same number of 
words arranged in sentences.
