Book Description
Excerpt from Studies in Fossil Botany, Vol. 2: Spermophyta Since the previous edition appeared, the author's views as to the relationships of the Pteridosperms have changed. The theory that they were derived from Ferns no-longer appears tenable. The Seed Plants, of which the Pteridosperms seem to be the most primitive representatives known, are now regarded as an inde pendent phylum, running back as far as any of the recognised lines of the Higher Cryptogams.

Book Description
Excerpt from Studies Fossil Botany The exceptionally rapid progress of Fossil Botany during the last eight years has rendered necessary a very thorough revision of this book, and the rewriting of considerable portions. At the same time care has been taken to maintain the original character of the "Studies" as a first introduction to "those results of palæontological inquiry which appear to be of fundamental importance from the botanist's point of view." No attempt has been made to extend the scope of the book, which now, as before, is concerned essentially with the morphological and evolutionary aspects of Palæobotany, but in every chapter new results of research have been incorporated. Chapters I.-IX. cover the Pteridophyta, i.e. those groups of Vascular Plants which may still be considered as, on the whole, Cryptogamic. Chapters X.-XIV. contain the Spermophyta, so far as they are dealt with, concluding with the chapter on "General Results."
