A Monograph Of The British Lichens A Descriptive Catalogue Of The Species In The Department Of Botany British Museum 2d Edition By Annie Lorrain Smith Preface By A B Rendle PDF Download

Excerpt from A Monograph of the British Lichens, Vol. 2: A Descriptive Catalogue of the Species in the Department of Botany, British Museum The long interval in time between the publication of Parts I. And II. Of the Monograph of British Lichens has been caused by the continued ill-health and ultimate death of the Rev. James Crombie, the author of Part I. Mr. Crombie had determined, and partly arranged, a number of specimens, and had also begun to prepare descriptions of the genera and species for Part II., when the work was finally interrupted by his death in 1906. His collections, together with his mss., were generously pre sented to the Trustees of the British Museum by Mrs. Crombie, and I was fortunately able to arrange with Miss Annie Lorrain Smith to continue the work. In the preparation of Part II. Miss Smith has followed the form and arrangement adopted in Part I., except where divergence seemed absolutely necessary.
