BOOK NOTICES AND REVIEWS 
Dr. Albert Schneider has published two books on Lichens, one a “Text- 
Book of Lichenology,” published by Willard N. Clute & Co., Binghamton, 
N. Y., is the standard work, and contains 76 full page plates. The more 
elementary work, “A Guide to the Study of Lichens,” is published by Knight 
& Millet, Boston, Mass. 
Reginald Heber Howe and Marion Appleton Howe, have begun the 
publication of “Common and Conspicuous Lichens of New England.” The 
work is to appear in parts, and part second has just been received. The 
authors intend that the work shall be “A Field Book For Beginners,” and 
the two parts already published give assurance that it will serve its purpose 
well. However, we must warn the beginner against supposing that he can 
ever get a comprehensive knowledge of the Lichenes , without the aid of a 
microscope, as many of the plants can not be determined by the best 
lichenist, without careful microscoptic study. The marginal illustrations are 
good, and will, with the aid of the short, but well worded diagnoses, prove 
very helpful to the beginner. The half tones are by no means all that could 
be desired, but we will hope for better ones in the future issues. The work 
will surely help teachers and others beginning to study lichens, and aid them 
in becoming acquainted with the more conspicuous species.
