Abstract
THE work on which the late Dr. Kidston was engaged at the time of his death is probably the most important contribution to our knowledge of the plants of the British Carboniferous rocks which has yet been printed. Whether regarded as a study of the distribution of species in our British coal seams, or as a critical systematic account of a fossil flora of scientific interest and economic importance, it ranks as a unique work. Unfortunately Kidston's sudden death occurred when only four parts had been published, and the present part is the first to appear since; but it is hoped that several more parts are in a condition sufficiently advanced to admit of their publication. It will be a catastrophe if the material collected for so many years by such an indefatigable worker is not made available by publicatioll. Memoirs of the Geological Survey of Great Britain. Palæontology. Vol. 2, Part V.: Fossil Plants of the Carboniferous Rocks of Great Britain. By Dr. Robert Kidston. Pp. 377–522 + plates 92–122. (Southampton: Ordnance Survey Office; London: Edward Stanford, Ltd., 1924.) 20s. net.
