Abstract
AN authoritative and comprehensive work on plant—dispersal-mainly, that is, the means by which fruits and seeds of flowering plants and spores of ferns, mosses, and other cryptogams are dispersed from the parent plant—has long been a desideratum. Such a work is now to hand, and we congratulate Mr. Ridley on the completion of his book, which embodies the results of his own observations over many years and of a digest of the very considerable and widely scattered literature of the subject.
The Dispersal of Plants throughout the World.
Henry N. Ridley. Pp. xx + 744 + 22 plates. (Ashford, Kent: L. Reeve and Co., Ltd., 1930.) 63s. net.
