Agrestia Ligustica

RIVIERA

NATURE NOTES

A POPULAR ACCOUNT OF THE MORE CONSPICUOUS
PLANTS AND ANIMALS OF THE RIVIERA
AND THE MARITIME ALPS

THE quite remarkable success which attended the unpretentious first edition has resulted in the appearance of this greatly improved second edition. This book is the only one dealing in a general way with the Natural History of the Riviera. The anonymous author, in his preface, states that he has not thought it necessary to affect the sober style of a scientific treatise-doubtless this will be considered an advantage by many. The work is a valuable contribution to natural history, yet written in a manner calculated to interest the unskilled observer. The following are some opinions of celebrated botanists concerning the first edition :

"I am reading the 'Riviera Nature Notes' with great enjoyment. They are full of information, admirably told."-SIR JOSEPH HOOKER, F.R.S.

"An extremely interesting and suggestive book.”—Journal of Botany. "The author is a well-grounded botanist, who knows the district and the flora."-PROFESSOR BOULlger.

"Fort intéressant."-M. C. NAUDIN, Director of the Botanic Gardens at Antibes.

"Un rayon de soleil du Midi."-M. H. CORREVON, Director of the Alpine Garden, Geneva.

"Ihr Werk über die Riviera hat mir ausserordentlich gefallen."-PROFESSOR O. PENZIG, Genoa.
