296 BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 
tion of De Candolle's * Vegetable Organography,” translated 
by Mr. Boughton Kingdon, has only now fallen into our hands, 
otherwise we should ere this have noticed it in our Journal. 
We now do so with much commendation, as a faithful tran- 
lation of one of the most important of the many valuable 
works of the distinguished author: and we are therefore glad 
it is made so generally accessible to the English reader. 
The plates too are well executed, in lithography, and are ac- 
curate copies from the original ones. 
Novarum ET Minus Coaenitarum SmTiRPIUM PUGIL- 
LUS Octavus. J. C. LEHMANN. 4to. 
This is the 8th Part of a series of descriptions of new and 
rare plants (by the bye, we regret to learn that the copies of 
the first seven were destroyed by the great fire at Hamburgh), 
from the pen of Lehmann. They have been distinguished 
for the accurate descriptions, among other plants, of a great 
number of Hepatice, especially of Jungermannie; and these 
are continued in the present * Pugillus.” There are besides, 
in this Part, under the head of * Novitiæ Flore Nove Hol-. 
landie," several new genera and Species from the Swan. 
River Herbarium of Preiss, among which are nine Droseras, 
some of which, we think, will be found described in Dr. 
Lindley's “Swan River Botany ;" a work, which from not 
being ever mentioned by our author, we fear is not known 
to him. 
Synopsis HEPATICARUM. 
We have before us a few pages and preface of a new work | 
bearing the above title, and which, if it may; be judged 
from the preface, is mainly from the able pen of Dr. and — 
Professor Nees von Esenbeck. We shall rejoice to see the 
continuation of it. |
