lers whose routes are described in the preceding chapters: this 
too is very full. 
Part III. Boranicat Lisprary or M. BENJAMIN 
DELESSERT. 
Of the varied matter contained in this, the last Part, we 
must content ourselves with observing that the library in 
question consists of 4350 volumes, enumerated under the 
following heads: 
Works on elementary botany . .  . « «+ 270 
Anatomy and vegetable physiology . , $ . 990 
General phytography (descriptions and figures) . . 940

4350 
The volume concludes with a most fulland complete index 
of the names of persons, and of countries, and of the titles of 
works contained in the volume. 
We trust we shall have shown the value we place upon the 
work, by the copious extracts here made from it, and we 
congratulate the author on having completed so laborious; 
yet so interesting a task.—Heartily do we wish that M. 
Laségue would give to the scientific world a * Catalogue Rai- — 
sonné” if not of the whole of this Library, yet of such 
parts of it as would make it an important Supplement to the 
Bibliotheca Banksiana of the learned Dryander.
