BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 159 
these are about to be made known, under the title of 
** Alge Danmonienses, or dried Specimens of Marine Plants, 
principally collected in Devonshire; carefully named accord- 
ing to Dr. Hooker’s British Flora; prepared and sold by 
Mary Wyatt, Dealer in Shells, Torquay: large Ato." Two 
Fasciculi, or volumes as they are called, have already 
appeared, each contaning 50 species, remarkable for the 
rarity of many kinds, the general fineness of the specimens 
and the excellent preservation of the whole. What adds 
greatly to the value is, that the species are determined by 
Mrs. Griffiths, to whose suggestion it is, if we are not mis- 
taken, that we are indebted for this useful addition to our 
botanical libraries. The first volume contains, among 
others, Cystoseira ericoides, Spherococcus rhizodes, Aspero- 
coccus compressus, Punctaria latifolia, Dictyota dichotoma, 
Padina pavonia, Haliseris polypodioides, Nitophyllum ocella- 
um, N. ulvoideum, Rhodomenia jubata, R. reniformis, Lau- 
rencia tenuissima, Chylocladia clavellosa, Gigartina compressa, 
G. acicularis, G. Teedii, G. Grifithsie, Griffithsia multifida, 
Calithamnion gracillimum, Conferva centralis, Mesogloia Griffith- 
siana, M. virescens, &c.—Vol. ii. has Cystoseira fæniculacea, 
C. fibrosa, Desmarestia ligulata, Asperococcus? pusillus, A. 
Turneri, Delesseria ruscifolia, Nitophyllum Gmelini, Rhodo- 
menia bifida, Microcladia Glandulosa, Bonnemaisonia aspara- 
goides, Chylocladia parvula, Halymenia furcellata, Polysiphonia 
Brodiæi, P. elongella, Spyridia filamentosa, Calithamnion ver- 
sicolor, €. spongiosum, Conferva gracilis, (n. sp.), Mesogloia 
Hudsoni, $c. We hear, with pleasure, that the ingenious 
author has met with ample encouragement from the public, 
so that she finds it difficult to prepare sets fast enough to 
meet the demand. The number of copies sold, will, we 
trust, make ample amends for the low price (considering 
the labour, and time, and skill required in the preparation) 
at which the work is offered; £1 the volume.
