No. 3. By Agnes Calvert and L. A. Boodle. On laticifer- 
ous tissue in the pith of Manihot Glaziovii, and on the presence 
of Nuclei in this Tissue (Plate VI). 
No. 4. By W. H. Gregg. Anomalous thickening in the 
roots of Cycas Seemanni, R. Br. (Plate V1). 
Under Notes, F. W. Oliver calls attention to a ‘‘ Phenomenon 
analagous to leaf-fall”’ in Rubus australis; J. R. Vaizey de- 
scribes some interesting experiments with Eosin on Polytrichum 
Sormosum, Hedw., and Splachnum sphericum, L., in determining 
the “Transpiration of the Sporophore of the Musci;” J. H. 
Blake describes the ‘“ Prickle-pores of Victoria regia; Agnes 
Calvert, the laticiferous tissue in the stem of Hevia Braziliensis, 
and Isaac Bayley Balfour discusses the terms ‘“ sporophore”’ and 
“ sporophyte.”’ 
Under Reviews, that of ‘‘Sachs’ Lectures on the Physiology 
of Plants,” translated by H. Marshall Ward, occupies seven pages, 
and will be read with interest by all who have not the original. 
It concludes with a Record of Current Literature, of forty-one 
pages, including books, pamphlets and periodical literature, ar- 
ranged according to countries and ‘magazines. This record has 
been severely criticised by the Journal of Botany for the omission 
of the initials of authors. It does bring about some confusion if 
there be no opportunity of verifying from the originals. 
A Correction.—Dr. Watson calls our attention to a mistake in 
the Report of the Proceedings of the Botanical Club, A. A. A. S. 
(this volume, p. 209), where the White Mountains are given as a 
locality for Aradis petrea ; the species has not yet been found in 
New Hampshire, though it probably will be.
