" Mosses, perhaps, receive about as little attention from botanists as any class of 

 plants, and considering how admirably mosses lend themsolvcB to tie collector's 

 purposes, this is very remarkable. Something may bo due to the minuteness of the 

 size of many of the species, and something perhaps to the difflcuities inherent in the 

 systematic treatment of these plants ; but wo 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 them. In the work which la now before us, Dr J5raithwaite aims 

 at pliicing the British mosses on the same vantage-giMund as the more favoured classes 

 of the vegetable kingdom ; and judging from the Sample lately issu«d, he will succeed 

 in his endeavours." — Popular Science Renew.

M. C. COOKE, M.A., LL.D. 

 The British Fungi : A Plain and Easy Account of. With Coloured 

 Plates of 40 Species. Fifth Edition, Revised. Crown Svo, 6s. 

 *' Mr Cooke writes for those whose education and means are limited, and with pre- 

 eminent saccess. It is really a pleasure to read the manuals which he has puhlisbed, 

 for they are up to the mark, and so complete as to leave hardly anything to be desired. 

 The new work on the fungi appears to be equally valuable witli those which he has 

 already printed. -It contains det-criptions of the esculent fungi, the manner in which 

 they are prepared for the table, how to discriminate the nutritious from the poisonous 

 species, details of the principles of their scientific classiflcatlon, and a tabular arrange- 

 ment of orders and genera."

 Anthoceros, Illustrated. Crown Svo, 6s. 



" It is very creditable to Mr Cooke that the drawings in his book are all sketches 

 from nature made by bis own pencil. This shows work, and is more respectable than 

 the too common practice of copying engravings from the authorities in the particular 

 branch of science. This little book is valuable, because in some respects it is certainly . 

 a good guide-book to a number of ediblo fungi unknown to the public."— /"tipM/af

"Probably no group in the British flora has received so little attention as the 

 Hepatipo!. Dr M. C. Cooke has now filled up the gap by producing a • Handbook of 

 the British Hepaticaj,' containing full descriptions of all the species, about two hundred 

 in number, known to inhabit the British Islands."— iS^a^Mrc,
