Abstract
IN the preface to the first edition the author expressed the hope that the palæontological record “will no longer be ignored by students of the evolution of plants.” Since these words were written the study of the plant-records of the rocks has made steady progress, not only as regards results, but in the vigorous growth of interest shown in the relics of past floras. This remarkable activity is in large measure the direct result of the influence exerted by Dr. Scott, not only by his own researches and by the encouragement and generous assistance which he is always ready to give to younger workers, but in no small degree by his well-balanced and lucid treatment of that branch of botany to which he has devoted himself with conspicuous success.
