DE Canpoze’s Bust. 
We are reminded by what we said of Rembert Dodoéns’ bust (1851, 
p. 752), that the grateful Genevese have likewise placed a bronze 
bust of the above celebrated botanist in the Botanie Garden at Geneva. 
Unfortunately it is not like; which causes Professor Parlatore to ex- 
claim (Viaggio alla Catena del Monte Bianco, p. 166), “ Duolmi il 
dover dire che quel busto non ricorda punto la cara effigie di quel 
celebre naturalista !”—Bot. Zeitung, January, 1852, p. 103.

We noticed the first volume of the ‘Cybele’ in the < London 
Journal of Botany’. for 1847, p. 260, and we gave a table of con-

peared in 1849; and the- laborious and talented anthor has now

it is proposed “to treat the distribution of plants under a different

tribution may appear in comparison and contrast, as reciprocal illustra- 
tions of each other.” The present volume is
