The next hundred are given to an account of the commoner 
grasses of agriculture, their adaptation to different localities, and 
the views of various agriculturists as to their respective values for 
pastures and meadows. The book is almost exhaustive in its 
treatment of the subject. 
The typographical appearance of the work is very nae The 
‘illustrations vary considerably in character, some being well 
executed, while a few appear coarse and poorly finished. 
We are informed that the second volume is in preparation, 
- and that it will contain descriptions “of all known grasses of 
North America, 700 or more species, (if all North America be 
included the number of species will probably be twice as many) 
with illustrations of one species in each genus, and in some cases 
more than one.” Its appearance will be looked for with great 
interest by botanists in general and by students of grasses partic- -
