Abstract
MISS RIDLEY'S book merits its title; for it is of a most convenient size for the pocket. Whether a new book on British ferns was needed may fairly be doubted; but this little volume will be useful to many beginners. The characters of each fern are given in tabular form, each occupying a page; and the principal points of distinction are clearly brought out.
A Pocket Guide to British Ferns.
By Marian S. Ridley. (London: Bogue, 1881.)
