Abstract
QUICKLY following on Elgee's “Eastern Moorlands of Yorkshire,” we have Moss's book on the vegetation of the Peak district, especially in its relations to geology and the chemical nature of the soil. Faunistic relations, so ably discussed by Elgee, are not considered by Moss. As the author I remarks, the Peak district has no definite geographical boundaries, but his maps of the plant formations include the area lying between Mossley and Penistone to the north, and, approximately. Congleton and Matlock to the south, embracing portions of five counties, and sources of several head-streams of the Mersey, Dee, Trent, and Yorkshire Ouse.
