APPENDIX. 



BOTANICAL MANUALS FOR STUDENTS. 



BvEKY botanical laboratory should have a set of manuals 

 whereby the student may become familiar with the details 

 as to classification. Unfortunately for the American stu- 

 dent, we are as yet poorly supplied with such descriptiTC 

 manuals. In the following list the classes (and in some 

 cases the orders under the classes) of the several grsat 

 branches of the plant kingdom are enumerated, and after 

 each is given the name of a useful systematic manual. No 

 attempt is here made to compile a list of the works of this 

 kind which are absolutely the best, for too often such works 

 are beyond the limited means of the botanical departments 

 of many schools and colleges.
