production, and the consequent small price of the work, it would 

 not have been possible to have used a quarto page, but this would 

 have given scope for the production of more characteristic portions 

 of the plant. However, Mr. Bailey has given to the fern-lovers of 

 Queensland, for whom he has prepared the volume, a work that 

 they will find of the greatest practical value, and to scientific 

 botanists it will be useful because of figures of the new species 

 which the author has already described, as well as of many varieties 

 which he distinguishes from the normal forms of known species. 

 No one knows better than Mr. Bailey that there is yet much to be 

 done in the critical examinatiou of the Queensland plants, and in 

 other orders more than the Ferns. Yet even here the use of some 

 of the more recent monographs will throw light on these plants. 

 For instance, Prantl's revision of Ophioylossum shows that in the 

 first plate, under 0. vulgatum and two named varieties, he has 

 three species. The principal figure is most probably O. reticulation 

 Linn., the var. a. is 0. Luersseni Prantl, and var. b. is 0. lamcolatum 

 Prantl. Nevertheless we have nothing but praise for Mr. Bailey's 

 book, and we trust he may long labour in the field in which he has 

 already done such good work. \V. Carrutuers.
