NOTICE RESPECTING MR. BERKELEY'S GLEANINGS 
OF BRITISH ALGJE. 
Mucn as has been done among the larger, and especially the 
marine ALGæ, by the Botanists of our country, by Lightfoot, 
Goodenough and Woodward, Stackhouse, Turner, Wigg, 
Barr, Frankland, and, though last, yet not least, those orna- 
ments of their sex, Mrs. Griffiths, Miss Hutchins, and Miss 
Hill; yet the more minute, but not less beautiful kinds have, 
till lately, been neglected, or only occasionally described in 
the works of Dillwyn, Smith, and Greville. What has far- 
ther been effected by Carmichael and Harvey will appear in 
the forthcoming volume on the Cryptogamia of the “ British 
Flora.” 
It is with pleasure we can announce another work, in which 
these objects are ably treated and accurately figured; the 
“Gleanings of British Alga, by the Rev. M. J. Berkeley; 
_ being an Appendix to the Supplement to English Botany :”— 
and we confidently recommend it to the possessors of that 
valuable work, as a most important and necessary appendage. 
The first No. contains three plates, each representing two or 
three species, and sixteen pages of letter-press. The follow- 
ing are the species described, nearly the whole of which are 
new to Britain; Chetophora pisiformis, Ag. C. Berheleyi, 
Grev. C. pellita, Lyngb. Rivularia bullata, Berk., (Ulva 
bullata, DeCand.) R. Pisum, Ag.  Spheroplea crispa, 
Berk. 5S. punctalis, Berk., (Conferva punctalis, Mull.) Frus- 
tulia lanceolata, Berk. F. obtusa; Ag. Monema prostratum, 
Berk. Palmella Grevillei, Berk., (Palmella botryoides, Grev. 
and Lyngb.)
