The Becherches sur TAnatomie, etc. of the Genus Angiopteris, are 

 from the pen and pencil of M. Harting; and the same gentleman con- 

 cludes the work with the " Considerations sur la structure des Eougeres 

 en general." The well-executed plates exhibit the anatomical structure 

 of the group, as well as pinnae of a great number of the species. 



Some Notes upon the Cryptogamic portion of the Plants collected in 

 Portugal 1842-50; by Dr. Fried. Welwitsch. The Fungi, hy 

 the Eev. M. J. Berkeley* London: W. Pamplin. 1853. 



This is an enumeration of the Fungi of Mr. Welwitsch's Portuguese 

 Collection, which are placed in Mr, Pamplin's hands for disposal, and 

 which is printed for distribution, we believe, to the subscribers. Besides 

 the enumeration of the whole, Mr. Berkeley has given the characters of, 

 and remarks upon, seven new species. 



We are glad to take this opportunity of saying that this admirable 

 Botanist and Collector (Mr. Welwitsch) has embarked for the Portu- 

 guese settlement of Angola, where he is engaged to superintend some 

 extensive plantations ; and where he will doubtless make many inter- 

 estins: botanical discoveries.
