since  1837 ;  together  with  a  Critical  Examination  of  the  Species  in  Lindley  and

Mr.  Quaritch  having  recently  purchased  the  copper-plates  and  copyright 
of  this  standard  work  on  the  Fossil  Plants  of  Britain,  and  knowing  the  extreme 
rarity  of  the  work, — selling  as  it  does  from  8  to  10  guineas  a  copy, — has  resolved 
to  produce  a  fac-simile"  re-issue  of  the  work,  from  the  original  copper-plates] 
Notwithstanding  the  great  progress  that  has  been  made  in  Palseontological  Botany 
in  Britain  during  the  last  thirty-five  years,  the  "  Fossil  Flora"  still  remains  the 
principal  authority  for  the  species  of  Extinct  British  Plants,  and  its  figures  and 
descriptions  must  always  be  consulted  and  quoted  by  every  scientific  investigator. 
To  secure  the  accuracy  of  the  re-issue,  Mr.  Quaritch  has  secured  the  aid  of 
¥ir.  Caruutiiers,  Esq.,  of  the  British  Museum,  to  superintend  it.  This 
gentleman  has  further  undertaken  the  preparation  of  a  Supplementary  Volume, 
to  contain  exact  delineations,  by  means  of  woodcuts,  and  not  less  than  40  plates, 
of  the  Discoveries  in  Fossil  Botany  since  1837  ;  together  with  Descriptions  and 
a  Synopsis,  which  will  bring  the  whole  work  up  to  the  state  of  the  Science  at 
the  present  day.  The  publication  of  the  Supplementary  Volume  will  proceed 
immediately  on  the  completion  of  the  original  work, — and  it  will  be  supple- 
mentary not  only  to  the  present  re-issue,  but  to  the  original  edition  also  of 
Lindley  &  Hutton's  great  work. 
The  first  Monthly  Part  will  be  issued  with  the  May  Journals.  As  it  is 
not  intended  that  the  re-issue  should  be  a  large  one,  intending  Subscribers  are 
requested  to  send  their  names  as  speedily  as  possible  to  their  bookseller  or  direct 
to  the  publisher. 
London,  January,  1S72.  Bernard  Quart-kit.
