form at Trenton, New Jersey, detected by C. C. Abbott, adds 



another species to the local flora. It should be carefully 



looked for higher up the Delaware.

This is a handsomely printed catalogue of plants, comprising 

 3,158 species and varieties. Localities are noted for the rarer 

 species. In many ways it is a very inconsistent production. 

 The plan of nomenclature taken for the flowering plants is very 

 different from that accepted for the Lichen?, Hepaticae and Alga. 

 The part devoted to the Ftmgi is a mere list of names. . In the 

 Bryophytes the habitat of species is quite thoroughly indicated, 

 ^ut no attempt is made to do this in other groups. The Antho- 

 Phytes reach 1,259.
