Abstract
We are a little late in announcing that Dr. F. Cavers's series of articles which appeared on the inter-relationships of the Bryophyta in the New Phytologist, vols. ix. and x., 1910–11, has been issued separately. It is a great convenience to have the work in this form, and it certainly deserves this distinction. The classification is mainly that adopted in Engler and Prantl's “Natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien,” but as a result of his investigations the author introduces some modifications. His proposed divisions are: (1) Sphærocarpales, (2) Marchantiales, (3) Jungermanniales, (4) Anthocerotales, (5) Sphagnales, (6) Andreaeales, (7) Tetraphidales, (8) Polytrichales, (9) Buxbaumiales, and (10) Eu-Bryales.
The Inter-Relationships of the Bryophyta.
Dr. Frank Cavers. Reprinted from the New Phytologist. Pp. vi + 203. Cambridge: At the Botany School, 1911. Price 4s.; postage 4d.
