Fasciculus IT. of the StKK1M RHODODENDRONS. 
The whole of the plates (ten) for the second fasciculus of the Rhodo- 
dendrons of Sikkim Himalaya are prepared, and will soon be published 
by Messrs. Reeve and Benham. So rich is that country in Rhododen- 
drons, that Dr. Hooker, by his single personal researches, has discovered 
species enough to furnish a third fasciculus (of the same number of 
plates), and all of equal interest with those given in the first. 
GRIFFITH, the late WILLIAM, F.L.S., Sc., &e.: POSTHUMOUS PAPERS 
bequeathed to the Honourable the East India Company, dc. 
Having already given a general notice of this important work, and 
of the early volumes which appeared, we have only now to state that 
we have received from the Directors of the Honourable the East India 
Company :— 
1, Vol IL, 8vo, entitled ‘Itinerary notes of Plants collected in the 
Khasyah and Boutan Mountains, 1837-38, in Affghanistan and 
neighbouring countries, 1839—41,' accompanied by a Map of India, 
illustrating the travels of the late William Griffiths, as described in 
his Journals and the localities of the Griffithian Herbaria, bequeathed 
to the Honourable the Court of Directors of the E. I. C. 
2. Part IL of the ‘Notule ad Plantas Asiaticas, 8vo; viz. ‘On the 
Higher Cryptogamous Plants.’ This latter is accompanied by 
3. An Atlas in large 4to, entitled ‘Icones Plantarum Asiaticarum, 
Part II. including coloured Plates, Tab. 63-138. 
x These works will be of great value to those who are privileged to 
partake of the Griffithian Herbarium, now in the course of distri- 
bution by the liberality of the E.J.C. They display in an eminent 
degree the botanical industry of the author; but we lament to see 
every page disfigured by the repeated and the grossest misspelling and 
‘misprints, which might easily have been avoided.
