Abstract
IT is unnecessary to emphasise the authoritative nature of this geological and botanical retrospect; the name of the author, who is professor of botany in the University of Cambridge, carries sufficient guarantee. The fact that within two years a second edition of a specialised work has been called for speaks well for its success. The first edition was reviewed at length in NATURE of October 3, 1931, p. 559. A few alterations and corrections have been made and more references added in the present edition.
