"The Flora of British India' is a work to which Sir J. D. Hooker has devoted many years of his life, and it is chiefly written by him, portions having been contributed by other botanists, amongst whom are Mr. Thiselton-Dyer, Mr. C. B. Clarke, Dr. Maxwell T. Masters, Mr. J. G. Baker, and the late Dr. T. Thomson and Dr. T. Anderson. The undertaking may be said to have commenced originally by the publication of the first (and only) volume of Hooker and Thomson's Flora Indica ' in 1855; but the present work, which is on a smaller plan, has been brought out in parts, of which the first appeared in 1872, and the last, containing the index, in November, 1897. The whole consists of seven thick octavo volumes, comprising altogether over 5000 closely printed pages, and containing descriptions of 14,520 species."-Nature, July 14th, 1898.
