intended, a distinctively West-American character to the journal; 
it is not the purpose, however, to exclude communications from 
any part of the world, nor to neglect any department of botanical 
research.” 
The number contains two papers by Prof. Greene, and also an 
adverse criticism by him on Mr. Berthoud’s recent paper on the 
dissemination of plants by the buffalo; two papers by the editor, 
Mr. Jepson, one by Mr. F. F. Bioletti, and one by Mr. Marshall O. 
Howe, besides several reviews and a chapter of “ Notes and News.” 
The subscription price is $1.50 per year. We presume the journal 
will be issued monthly, but there is no indication of the frequency 
of publication in the number which lies before us. Noise. dB
