Amidst the arduous duties of Mr. Hasskarl in Java, connected with 

 the importation and successful cultivation of the Cinchona, as related 

 at pp. 302 and 337 of our last volume, this active botanist has found 

 time to commence two works on the plants of Java, under the above 

 titles; the one devoted to flowering plants, the other exclusively to 

 Perns. We fear however that the author's health has suffered by 

 climate and over-exertion, so that he has now returned to Europe for 

 recovery, where it is his intention to unite all his c Observationes ' in one 

 work (and we believe one volume), to be entitled € Hortus Bogoriensis 

 Descriptus/ which will contain descriptions or critical observations of 

 about 600 species of Phaenogamous and Cryptogamic plants. 



Of the works which head this notice, the Retzia (40 pages) contains 

 critical remarks, and often very full descriptions of Pbaenogamous 

 plants cultivated in the Garden of Buitenzorg, nearly all foreign to 

 Java, and well known species. In the other work, confined to Ferns 

 (of which 56 pages have appeared), the author elaborates the Gleiche- 

 niacea of Java, the Cyatheacece, and part of the Dicksoniete. Most 

 of the information here contained, but in a more condensed form, was
