Excerpt from Sea Mosses: A Collector's Guide and an Introduction to the Study of Marine AlgæAmong these is the particular thing which I wish to direct attention to here, viz.: the disarrangement of the species, in the genera. It will be observed, that while the genera have been arranged 'ih their proper natural order, the species are often grouped, in the text, quite otherwise. The reason is, I have taken those species, in genera which contain several, for treatment first, which, on account of their common ness, or peculiar habitat or appearance, could be most easily and certainly identified. From these, I have, proceeded step by step, to the more difficult plants.Then again, I have often found it convenient, to group certain species together, for the advantage of comparison, in the description, which do not always naturally belong together. You will therefore under stand, that while the orders and genera, follow their natural grouping, in the text, the species in the genera cannot be depended upon to do so, in most cases.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
