NEW WORK —ON— SEA MOSSES. decorative divider We shall issue in a few days an elegantly illustrated “Manual of American Sea Mosses,” prepared by Rev. A. B. Hervey. It is just such a work as has long been needed and much called for: a handy, convenient book for sea-side use. Nothing of the kind has been published in this country; Harvey’s great work, completed 25 years ago, in three ponderous quartos, being too expensive and too cumbersome for general and popular use. It is a complete Collector’s Guide, giving practical information as to the best times, places and methods of collecting the necessary apparatus, and the details of floating out, pressing, drying, preserving, and mounting these beautiful plants. Full directions are also given of the best methods of studying and identifying these plants. Full “keys” are given, at the head of each group, by which the most inexperienced may be easily guided to the genus to which the plant he is studying belongs. While in the description of species the method of treatment is popular, and especially adapted to the need of amateur botanists and sea-side collectors, all the statements are made with scientific accuracy and carefulness. All the common species belonging to the three great groups of Green, Olive Colored and Red AlgÆ, are taken up in order, and so described in detail, that it is believed they may be easily identified whenever found. The book is thus made a complete guide to all the common and beautiful forms of our Atlantic flora, north of the Carolinas, including nearly all the characteristic forms of the Pacific coast, for California, Oregon and the North. The plates, twenty in number, are drawn and colored from nature, and represent twenty-four of the most interesting, beautiful and characteristic species, in not less than nineteen genera. The work is issued in elegant binding, 12 mo., over 300 pages, and is printed on fine, heavy paper, with 20 full-paged colored plates. Price, postpaid, $2.00.
