BOTANY. 



A REVISED LIST OF THE BRITISH CARYOPHYLLACE^E, by Fred. N. 

 Williams, F.L.S. (Journ. Bot., October, pp. 423-429), is an effort to 

 bring the nomenclature of British floras into line with that employed 

 in many Continental floras, in which the genera are accepted in 

 much narrower limits. The (rather numerous) alterations in the 

 names given in the ninth edition of the " London Catalogue " are 

 marked with an asterisk. 



THE SALIX LISTS IN THE LONDON CATALOGUE, by (Rev.) E. F. 

 Linton, M.A. (Journ. Bot., November, pp. 461-472), discusses fully 

 the treatment of Salix by the author and by Dr. F. B. White, giving 

 reasons for the writer's views, and discussing from his present 

 knowledge the origin and rank of hybrids, etc. 



LIST OF BRITISH CYPERACE.E (EXCLUDING Carex), by C. B. 

 Clarke, F.R.S. (Joiiru. Bot., October, pp. 415-417), is valuable as a 

 statement of the views with regard to nomenclature of the recognised 

 authority in Britain on the Cyperacea. He keeps Eleocharis distinct 

 from Scirpus, but sinks Blysmus ; and he falls back on the older 

 name Cladium jamaicensc, Crantz (1766), for C. Mariscus, R. Br. 



BARTSIA ODONTITES, VAR. LITTORALIS, REICHB., IN BRITAIN. By 

 Symers M. Macvicar. Journ. Bot., November, p. 4 79. Grows in some
