NEW FRENCH BOTANICAL JOURNAL. 



A new botanical journal, under the title of Journal de Bo- 

 tanique, has lately made its appearance in Paris, edited by

" THE GARDEN," A NEW JOURNAL. 



A new horticultural journal, named The Garden, has lately 

 been commenced in London, under the editorship of Mr. W. 

 Robinson. This gentleman is well known as the horticultural 

 editor of The Field newspaper, and is the author of a large 

 number of works upon gardening in its various branches, one 

 of the most important being a description of the parks of 

 Paris a book of remarkable beauty and interest. The new 

 magazine is intended to contain original articles by the ed- 

 itor and by correspondents on gardening topics, illustrated 

 by wood-cuts, instructions for gardeners, descriptions of new 

 plants, etc. 12 A, November 30, 18*71, 89. 



"grevillia," a new botanical magazine. 



The first number of a new monthly magazine, entitled 

 Grevillia, devoted exclusively to the subject of cryptogamic 

 botany, has just been issued, under the editorship of Mr. M. 

 C. Cooke. It is intended to serve as a medium of communi- 

 cation between cryptogamists and as a record of the discov- 

 eries of new species, and will doubtless supply a desideratum.
