enumerated, 88 are adventive from Europe; and, of these, 57 are 

 ■ found growing without cultivation, and are said to be naturalized, 

 while the remaining 31, although growing without cultivation, can 

 scarcely be regarded as fully established. There is a large number 

 of typographical errors scattered through the pages of this flora, due, 

 as we are informed by the author, to the fact that he was not given 

 a proper opportunity to correct proof. These, however, since the 



publication of the pamphlet, have been corrected, and a list of the 

 corrections has been printed in the form of an appendix ; but we 

 regret to see that. even the latter is not free from error, the conceit 

 of the compositor having led him to make a supposed correction of 

 the author's *' yellow water-crowfoot '* to " yellow-water crowfoot." 



A preliminary Catalogue of the floioering Plants and higher Crypto- 

 gams growing without Cultivation loiihin thirty miles of IIa7iover^ 

 N. H. By Henry G. Jesup, A.M., Professor of Natural History 

 in the Chandler Scientific Department of Dartmouth College, 

 and the N. H. College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts. 

 8vo., pamph., pp. 52. Hanover, N. H,: N. A. McClary. 1882. 

 From a typographical point of view, this catalogue presents a 

 marked contrast with the one just noticed, the paper being of excel- 

 lent Quality, and the letter-press of nearly faultless execution. 



Prof. Jesup's work is intended to include, so far as known^ the 

 flora within about thirty miles radius of the town of Hanover, N. H., 

 a circuit extending to, and embracing the mountain peaks, Moosi- 

 lauke and Kearsarge in New Hampshire, and Killington in Vermont. 

 The limit embraced is divided nearly equally between the two ad- 

 joining States. The total number of plants enumerated is 1,008, of 

 which 956 are phaenogams and 52 are cryptogams. Of the latter, 7 

 are Equisetaccae ; T^d (excluding varieties, 6) are Filices\ and 10 



(excluding variety, 1) are Lycopodiaceae, The number of introduced 

 phaenogams is 144. The number of additional plants that may be 

 expected to occur within the limits embraced in the flora, and a list 

 of which is given in an appendix, is 146. 



As the primary object of this catalogue was the benefit of the 

 author's classes in botany, and of the public at large, brief direc- 

 tions have been given for the collection and preservation of plants ; 

 and common names have been added so far as known. The latter 

 differ in no case from those found in all our manuals. 



To the catalogue of plants is appended a 22-page list of the ver- 

 tebrate animals found within the same limits.

 History^ Central Park, New York, Feb., 1882. 8vo., pamph.,

 Of botanical interest in this Report is the following statement: 

 "An herbarium of North American plants, preserved with remarka- 

 ble taste and care, has been received from the late Stephen Whit- 

 ney Phoenix, and forms the beginning of a new Department of spe- 

 cial interest to those scientists devoting' themselves to the study of 

 botany." As well known to those who have visited this Museum, 

 the Economic Department contains a very large and interesting cob
