Abstract
THE third fasciculus of the Kew Index, which the Clarendon Press has just issued, brings us within sight of the completion of this monumental work. This part brings the Index down to near the end of the letter P, and we may look forward then to seeing in course of the coming year the concluding fasciculus. Since we noticed the earlier fasciculi there has been no new development in the nomenclature controversy, upon which, we believe, the Kew Index will exercise an important influence; the effect of this will likely be only apparent after the whole is published. Meanwhile the sterling value of the Index is increasingly evident, and every botanist will congratulate the preparers and the publishers upon the appearance Of this third fasiculus, in which the same careful and conscientious workmanship is noticeable as characterised ihe portions of the work previously issued.
