Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geological History of Plants 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. In a work of so limited dimensions, detailed descriptions cannot be given, except occasionally by way of illustration; but references to authorities will be made in foot-notes, and certain details, which may be useful to collectors and students, will be placed in notes appended to the chapters, so as not to encumber the text. The illustrations of this work are for the most part original; but some of them have previously appeared in special papers of the author.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fossil Plants, Vol. 2: A Text-Book for Students of Botany and Geology I am well aware that while certain genera have received an undue share of attention in the present volume, others have been ignored or treated with scant consideration. For this inconsistency I have no excuse to offer, beyond the state ment that the subject is a large one, and selection is necessary even though the work consists of three volumes. The publication in 1909 of a collection of excellent photo graphs of Palaeozoic Plants, with brief descriptive notes, by Mr Newell Arber, as one of a series of popular Nature Books, bears striking testimony to the remarkable spread of interest in the study of the vegetation of the past, which is one of the outstanding features in the recent history of botanical science. In the list of illustrations I have mentioned the source of all figures which have been previously published. I would, however, supplement the statement of fact with an expression of thanks to corporate bodies and to individuals who have allowed me to make use of blocks, drawings, or photographs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Palaeozoic Plants: In the Department of Geology and Palaeontology, British Museum (Natural History) This Catalogue was commenced by Mr. Kidston in February, 1883 (nearly a year before the Gallery which contains the Fossil Plant Collection had been opened to the public). In order to prepare the present work the author first made a most careful examination of the entire collection of Palaeozoic plants in the Department, and provisionally named all the specimens which passed through his hands. He also visited and studied the collections of Mr. J. McMartrie at Radstock; those in the Museums of Bath, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle; the Museum of Practical Geology, Jennyn Street, and many other public and private cabinets. He has further devoted much time in 1884-85, to collecting specimens of fossil plants from the classical localities in Gloucestershire, Somerset, Monmouthshire and elsewhere, in order to observe the mode of occurrence of the various coal-plants in situ. As a result Mr. Kidston has enriched the collection by the addition of nearly 250 valuable specimens. In this task he has been aided by the Royal Society's Government Grants Fund. The work of naming and cataloguing so large a collection has occupied a much longer time than was originally contemplated; but it is hoped that the Catalogue may prove useful to the student of Fossil Plants and be the means of stimulating other workers to take up a subject which offers to the enquirer so interesting a field of study and promises so large an opportunity for the development of original research.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Distribution and Origin of Life in America This volume is the outcome of the second series of Swiney Lectures on Geology which I delivered at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in 1908. The subject chosen for these lectures was the Geological History of the American Fauna. Instead of publishing the lectures, like the previous ones on the European Fauna, with little alteration, I decided to amplify and rewrite them completely. In doing so I was enabled to bring out more clearly certain points in the geological history of the American animals which seemed to me of general interest.

Download or read book Heredity and Evolution in Plants Classic Reprint written by C. Stuart Gager and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heredity and Evolution in Plants Chapters X, Geographical Distribution, and XIII, The Great Groups of Plants, and the Bibliography are new. N o attempt has been made to cite the voluminous periodical literature in the Bibliography, but needless to state, this has been freely consulted and drawn upon. Numerous citations are given as foot-notes, especially in Chapter X. In going over the chapters it also became evident that since, in order to read them understandingly, one must have a clear conception of the facts of the lift history of a vascular plant, it would be best to introduce from the Fundamentals of Botany the three chapters (viz. XII XIV) on the life history of the fern. As stated in the Preface to that book, while the ultimate problem of botany is the development of the kingdom of plants, the more immediate and fundamental problem is the development of the individual plant. Ontogeny is fundamental because without a knowledge of its processes the processes of phylogeny cannot be comprehended. Phylogeny is the ultimate problem because its complete solution in volves an orderly description of all the phenomena of plant life, and their relation to each other. The author is specially indebted to Dr. 0. E. White, curator of plant breeding in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, for a careful reading of the entire manuscript and for many valuable suggestions; also to Mr. Norman Taylor, curator of plants, in connection with Chapter X, and to Dr. Alfred Gundersen, associate curator of plants in the same institution, for numerous constructive criticisms in connection with Chapter XIII.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Zealand Plants: And Their Story Lying isolated from neighbouring land-masses far out in the broad Pacific, New zealand Offered conditions for plant-life different from those Of most other regions. Its area, greater by far than that of any oceanic group Of islands, is sufficient to have allowed the development of a rich vegetation made up of many species. The land of the Maori and as a poet has called our land, has long been famous from both the ethnological and zoological standpoints. The remarkable race Of aborigines, with their interesting manners and customs, is known far and wide. Scientific men the world over, and many of the general public, for that matter, have an acquaintance more or less intimate with the giant birds Of a former age, and their fast vanishing relatives, the kiwis of today.
