Dr. Alice Tryon has prepared a comprehensive study of the                  anatomy of fern spores, correlating evidence from scanning and                  transmission electron microscope studies.  Fern spores are                      single-celled structures that have a major role in the                          reproduction and distribution of ferns.  They are represented by                extant lineages that flourished from Carboniferous times to the                 present.  Connections between fossil and extant forms are often                 supported wholly on spore evidence.  Thus, Tryon's work will be                 extremely important for those researchers studying the                          systematics and evolution of ferns.  It will also be useful to                  petroleum geologists and stratigraphers.  This award will                       provide a subsidy to partially defray the costs of publication of               Dr. Tryon's manuscript, which is estimated will result in an 800-               page book.  The subsidy will lower the retail cost of the book                  from $400 to $100, thereby permitting individual scientists and                 libraries with limited budgets to purchase it.
