PRESS OPINIONS.

The second edition is virtually a new book. No one is so well qualified to describe New Zealand plant ecology as Dr. Cockayne.-Nature, London.

The story which Dr. Cockayne has to tell is wonderful, and the manner of his telling is full of charm. He gives no bare catalogue of plants nor bald descriptions, but shows by pen and picture the wonderful vegetation of those happy islands.-Gardeners' Chronicle, London.

The book will be treasured by all who find refreshment away from the cities and petty affairs of men. Dr. Cockayne's style is as brilliant as it is simple. He cannot be misunderstood. "New Zealand Plants and their Story" is a book to give to one's dearest friend, while keeping a copy for one's own reading and pleasure.-Evening Post, Wellington, New Zealand.

PRESS OPINIONS.

The Hon. G. M. Thomson in writing this manual has evidently taken up a labour of love. He writes not so much for the scientific as for the general reader. It is a valuable and likely to be one of the most popular works issued by the Board of Science and Art. It is a notable addition to Mr. Thomson's other works.-Evening Post, Wellington, N.Z.

A bright little book. Mr. Thomson has provided a book sufficiently scientific to be authoritative, and yet informal and simple enough to be interesting to the young and uneducated. We shall look forward eagerly to Part II.-Herald, Timaru, N.Z.

It is a book of unusual interest. There is nothing like it in print, and the wonder is that it has not been done before. Mr. Thomson is to be thanked for producing a work so useful and so timely. Technical terms and scientific language have been avoided as far as possible, with the result that we have a narrative as interesting as any romance. It will prove a valuable and useful book.-Evening Star, Dunedin, N.Z.
