We regret to see the present “ Notices" brought to a conclusion 
with the tenth fasciculus; the whole forming one volume, each 
number, however, being separately paged, and including, besides 
many plates, more or less coloured, full descriptions and histories 
of one hundred and thirty-eight new or rare plants of the garden 
of Geneva, drawn up by two of the most distinguished botanists, 
father and son, of the present century. The present number con- 
tains, 1, Althea laxiflora, n. sp.; 2, Brassica longiloba, n. sp. ; 
3, Crambe grandiflora, DC.; 4, Æriostemon scabrum, n. sp.; 
5, Galega officinalis, L. ; and G. Persica, Sw., (showing that they 
are one and the same) ; 6, Lessertia brachystachya, n. sp.; 7, Pe- 
risteria Barkeri, Batem.; 8, Pomaderris pyrrophylla, Stend. ; 
9, Scevola multiflora, Lindl.; 10, Sedum prealtum, n. sp.;

The student of botany will be glad to know that this useful - 
work, which we have already alluded to, (vol. iii. p. 111), as a 
substitute for the more elaborate and more original ‘ Iconographia — — : 
Generum Plantarum,’ of Endlicher, is continued. Fase. V. is the 
latest portion we have received, but it bears no date; and when — — 
it is considered how tardily our booksellers procure continental - 
works in general, and especially German ones, we cannot be sure — 
that more of it may not be issued in Germany. The present - 
Fasciculus contains illustrations of the following Natural Orders. 
Tab. 55, Liliaceae (Hyacinthee, Tulipea) ; t. 55, b. Liliacee (4s- 
phodelee ; t. 55, c. Liliaceae (Asparagea) ; t. 55, b. Liliaceis affines;
