114 BOTANICAL INFORMATION, 
MIGUEL, Sertum Exoticum. 
Similar in character and utility to the Sertum Plantarum 
of Fielding, and to the Icones Plantarum of Hooker, is the 
Sertum Exoticum of Fred. Aub. Guil. Miguel, a botanist of 
Leyden, already advantageously known by his * Observa- 
tiones de Piperaceis et Melastomaceis," accompanied by 
excellent plates and analyses in folio. The present work 
is upon a smaller size, quarto, but equally valuable as regards 
the plates and descriptions. It is destined to contain figures 
and descriptions of new or little known species, and is 
announced to appear, from time to time, in numbers, each 
containing five plates, with accompanying text, at the price 
of five francs a number. The Dutch Herbaria will no 
doubt afford ample materials for such a publication, wbich 
we trust wil meet with the encouragement it deserves. 
The first number alone has yet reached our hands, and the 
plates in lithography, and descriptions are equally carefully 
executed. The species are, Selaginella Poeppigiana, Spreng. $ 
Scleria Künthi, Mig.; Phytolacca Bogotensis, H. B. K.5 
lonidium viscidulum, H. B. K. (from Surinam specimens) i 
and Cissampelos canescens, Mig., from Mexico. 
Jounson, Iter Plantarum, &c. 
Mr. Pamplin is about to reprint, with some remarks and 
notes, an exceedingly scarce little pamphlet, of which, so fat 
as he knows, there is not another copy than the ore which 
is now being transcribed from, in existence. It is entitled:
