BOTANY. 511 



C. Babington ; Conspectus Poly g alarum Europcmrwn, by A. 

 W. Bennett, etc., etc. The " Forest Flora of British Burraah," 

 in two volumes, is by S. Knrz, Curator of the Herbarium of 

 the Botanic Garden, Calcutta, whose lamented death oc- 

 curred soon after the publication of this work. Four parts 

 of a superb "Monograph of the Genus Lilium" have been 

 published by II. J. Elwes, with illustrations by W. H. Fitch. 



In Germany there have been but few publications relating 

 to phanerogams. In Linnea, Count Solms-Laubach has a 

 synopsis of the Fandanacece. The "Flora Brasiliensis" has 

 been increased by several volumes, including the Lemnacew 

 by Hegelmaier, Aracece by Engler, Oxalidacew, Geraniacece, 

 and Vivianacece by Progel, Fafflesiacece by Solms-Laubach, 

 Jleliacece by C. De Candolle, and Cucurbitacem by Cogniaux. 

 Dr. Maximowicx, of St. Petersburg, has described new plants 

 from China and Mongolia belonging to the genus Cori/dalis, 

 besides revisions of other genera. In Italy Ave have to no- 

 tice a continuation of the Dalmatian Flora, by the late la- 

 mented Professor Visiani ; and the second fasciculus of Bec- 

 cari's Malesia, principally devoted to a description of the Jca- 

 cinece and Menispermacem of the Indo-Malayan and Papuan 

 Archipelago. Reichenbach has published a third volume of 

 the Xenia Orchidacea, and he has a paper entitled Orchi- 

 dece Falbreyer lance, in Flora. Two papers on the Olinece 

 have appeared from Decaisue and Baillon, in which decided- 

 ly antagonistic views are expressed. 



In the way of hand-books and manuals, we may mention a 

 new edition of Hooker's " Student's Flora of the British Isl- 

 ands," and McXab's "Morphology and Physiology and Clas- 

 sification of Plants" {London Science Class-books). In Ger- 

 man we have Seubert's " Excursionsflora fiir Siiddeutsch- 

 land" and "Flora von Deutschland" by Dr. August Garcke, 

 as well as several others. Hallier's " Taschenbuch der 

 deutschen und schweizer Flora" seems to have called forth 

 criticisms which are very far from favorable. A series of 

 class-room diagrams called " Anatomisch-physiologischer 

 Atlas der Botanik," by Dr. A. Dodel-Port, has been recom- 

 mended by several well-known botanists.
