Description
Excerpt from Synopsis of the Flora of Colorado The "Synopsis of the Flora of Colorado," which the survey now presents to the public, has been prepared by Prof. Thomas C. Porter, of Lafayette College, Easton, Pennsylvania, and Mr. John M. Coulter, one of the assistants connected with the survey for the past two years. It is intended to be a type of a series of "handbooks" of different branches of natural history, to be published from time to time as a part of the series of "Miscellaneous Publications," for the use of students all over the country. No. 3 of the series is now passing through the press, and has been prepared by the eminent ornithologist, Dr. E. Cones, U. S. A. It will form an octavo volume of several hundred pages, bringing the whole subject of western ornitholgy up to date. The mountain regions of Colorado are now so accessible to the traveling public, that this synopsis will prove a most valuable aid to students, and travelers who can, are annually visiting Colorado in great numbers. Indeed, the mountainous portions more nearly resemble the Alpine districts of Central Europe, not only in the scenery, but also in the different forms of vegetation. The tide of travel is fast turning in this direction, and the demand for works of this kind will necessarily be very great. It should be stated here, that the obligations of the survey to Professor Porter, for his share in the work, are very much increased from the fact that he occupied several months in its preparation without compensation from the Government.
