“This contribution to American paleo-botany is richly illustrated with fifty plates and 138 text figures. It is an account of the American collections of fossil cycads—plants allied to the fern—so far as they have been studied, and the results of the author’s investigations on the vegetative anatomy and reproductive organs, followed by a comparison of these with similar structures in living cycads, and a discussion of relationships.”—Nation.
“The monograph is creditable to American botany and the presswork of the Carnegie institution.”

“A flood of light has been thrown on the morphology of an extinct group of Mesozoic gymnosperms, which it is possible to study with a precision and thoroughness hardly to be surpassed in the case of recent plants.”

“Marks a very important forward step in our knowledge of the cycadales, while it also throws a great deal of light upon the general problem of the phylogeny of the gymnosperms and their supposed relation to filicinean ancestors.” D. P. Penhallow.
