"The amount ot labour and rosoaroh that Dr Bonavia must have expended on those 

 vohimes would bo very diffloult to estimate, and it is to be hoped that ho will be 

 repaid, to some extent at least, by the recognition of his work by those who arc 

 interested in promoting the internal industries of India."— ifomc Sews. 



" Dr Bonavia^^seems to have so thoroughly exhausted research into the why and 

 wherefore of oranges and lemons, that there can be but little left for the most 

 enthusiastic admirer of this delicious fruit to And out about it. Plunging into Dr 

 Bonavia's pages we are at onco astonished at the variety of his subject and the wiilo 

 field there is for research in an everyday topic. Dr Bonavia has given a very full 

 .appendix, in which maybe found a few excellent recipes for coniitures made from 

 oranges and lemons."— r/ic Pioneer. 



J^. BRAITHWAITE, M.D., F.L.S., b'c. 

 The Sphagnaceaa, or Peat Mosses of Europe and North America. 

 Illustrated with 29 plates, coloured by hand, imp. 8vo, 25s. 

 "All inusoologists will be delighted to hail the appearance of this im- 

 portant work . . . Never before has our native moss-flora been so carefully, 

 figured and described, and that by an acknowledged authority on the subject." 

 — Science Gossiji. 



'' Mosses, perhaps, receive about as little attention from botanists as any 

 ela.ss of plants, and considering how admirably mosses lend themselves to the 

 oollector'a purposes, this is very remarkable. Something may be duo to the 

 minuteness of the size of many of the species, and something perhap.i to the 

 difficulties inherent in the systematic treatment of these plants ; but we fancy 

 the chief cause of comparative neglect with which they are treated is to be 

 sought in the want of a good illustrated English treatise upon thern. In the 

 work which is now before us, Dr Braithwaite aims at placing the British 

 mosses on the same vantage-ground as the more favoured classes of the vege- 

 table kingdom ; and judging from the sample lately issued, he will succeed in 

 his endeavours." — Popular Science Review.
