THE GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. By Sir J. William Dawson, F. R. S. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.75.
“The object of this work is to give, in a connected form, a summary of the development of the vegetable kingdom in geological time. To the geologist and botanist the subject is one of importance with reference to their special pursuits, and one on which it has not been easy to find any convenient manual of information. It is hoped that its treatment in the present volume will also be found sufficiently simple and popular to be attractive to the general reader.”—From the Preface.
