ABSTRACT DR. P. W. RICHARDS, of the Botany School, Cambridge, in a recent paper, states that it forms the first part of the results of the Cambridge Botanical Expedition to Nigeria and it
aims at being a description of a typical region of the West African Rain Forest—a chief object being to compare the rain forest of this area with those previously studied in British Guiana
and Sarawak (“Ecological Studies on the Rain Forest of Southern Nigeria”. (1) “The Structure and Floristic Composition of the Primary Forest”, _J. Ecology_, 27, 1; Feb. 1939. Univ. Press,
Cambridge). The reasons for making such a comparison are not stated. The author states on more than one occasion that “the Rain Forest of the whole of South-Western Nigeria is situated near
its climatic limits”. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution
