Abstract
THE issue of this catalogue fittingly commemorates the development, up to the last year of the nineteenth century, of an adjunct indispensable in the equipment of a centre of botanical research so deservedly famous as the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. The many botanists that have enjoyed the access to the library so freely allowed to workers in the Herbarium, and have learned to value the stores of information contained in it, will rejoice to have the catalogue as a guide to render the riches of the library still more accessible than in the past. But not to those alone that can visit Kew Herbarium is it likely to be welcome. Botanists living at a distance that precludes frequent visits to Kew Herbarium will find it most useful for reference as a guide to the literature of botany, and will value it accordingly.
