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.
