This work is a companion to a collection of Italian cryp- 

 togamic plants in course of publication. The following are 

 the contents of the present part: — 1. Cesati on the crypto- 

 gamic vegetation in the neighbourhood of Vercelli and Biella. 

 2. Baglietto on some new lichens. 3. De Notaris and Bag- 

 Hetto on Opegrapha poetarum. 4. De Notaris on Stereopeltis, 

 a new genus of lichens. 5. De Notaris on a new Octaviana. 

 C. De Notaris on a new species of Coccosporium. 7. Dufour 

 on some marine Algse. 8. Caldesi on Sphceria Petrucciana. 

 9. Gennari on a new species of Isoetes. The part concludes with 

 an account of the works on cryptogamic botany published in 

 1860 ; from which it appears that Ease. VII. VIII. and IX. of 

 the " Erbario ci'ittogamico Italiano" appeared in that year.

This publication appears very irregularly at considerable in- 

 tervals of time. We have not been able to meet with all the 

 parts for 1861. Those which we have seen contain a paper on 

 Pseudogonidia by Nave, and one on Sphceria Hoffmanni, Er. by 

 Hofl'mami.
