Excerpt from A Glossary of Botanic Terms: With Their Derivation and Accent Bundle. Greek is quoted in the original characters, Latin in italic, or where otherwise it would be doubtful, it is indicated; this is further explained on the page facing page 1 of the Glossary the use of small capitals refers the reader to the word so printed for a definition of the term, or to a correlative term. The Appendixes hardly need any detailed explanation; it will be seen that the Bibliography is a selected list of works chiefly in alphabetic form, arranged chronologically. General dictionaries, and large works in which technical terms form only a small pro portion of the whole, have been omitted. The progress of the work through the press has occupied twelve months; advantage has been taken of this to record new terms which have been published during that time, as well as those con tributed by friends from obscure sources, some previously rejected, and a few which had been overlooked many in the last category are directly due to the defective indexes in certain standard works. N o attempt has been made to bring the book beyond the date of 1st January 1900, but I have done my best to include all valid terms up to the first day of this year.
