Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The British Charophyta, Vol. 2 This volume, dealing with the section Chareæ, completes the survey of the British Charophyta. It includes the new species Chara muscosa (8a), which had not been described when the first volume was issued, and does not therefore appear in the key to the British species in that volume. The present volume contains twenty-five plates. Three of these (24, 34, and 40) have been reproduced (with slight alterations in one of them) from drawings by the late Henry Groves originally published in the ´Journal of Botany.´ Two others (26 and 37) from his hand, and published in the same journal, have been partly re-drawn by Miss Mary Groves with alterations and additions. The rest have been specially prepared for this work. No. 35 having, however, also appeared in the ´Journal of Botany.´ All the drawings showing the plants in their natural size, as well as several of the magnifications, are from Miss Groves´s pencil, and we have again to express our indebtedness and warm thanks to the artist for her very painstaking and skilful work. The very successful reproduction of the drawings by Messrs. Whittingham & Griggs reflects great credit on that firm. The chapter on the fossil Charophyta does not claim to be more than an introductory sketch pointing the way to an interesting field of study well worth further investigation. The plate relating to the fossil species is taken from photographs made by the late Clement Reid and reproduced by permission from the publications of the Royal and Geological Societies.
