The first method to be employed was that oi surface design (wood- 

 engraving), of which a series of examples is given, commencing witk 

 Dioscorides and ending vvith Parkinson (1629) Bcfore the tinie of 

 the latter however the tise oi copper plates commenced (F a b i o C o 1 o n ii a, 

 D i 1 1 eni u s, etc.), but with Thom as Be w i c k wood-engraving according 

 to a new method again became common (e. g. in Thornton's Herbai, 

 1810); a second period of copper-plate engraving was followed by iitho- 

 graphy. The author then discusses the various processes of modern 

 times, which depend on direct Photographie reproduction of the objects 

 upon the medium of printing (line-process, photogravure, collotype, 

 Woodbury type); „Ectypa" and nature-printing are in some ways early 

 attempts at processes of this kind. The paper is well-illustrated and 

 may be recommended to those, desiring to obtain an insight into the 

 methods of botanical Illustration. F. E. Fritsch. 



Maiden, J. H. and R. H. Cambage, Notes on the Eucalypts 

 of the Blue Mountains. (Proceedings of the Linnean 

 Society of New South Wales for the year 1905. Vol. XXX. 

 Part 2. No. 118. 1905. p. 190—202.) 



No list of the Eucalypts of the Blue Mountains has as yet beew 

 published ; in the present one it has been possible to draw up descrip- 

 tioHS of the seedlings and sucker foliage in most cases from living 

 specimens in the fieid. Except on the lower parts of the mountains east 

 of Springwood there are neither box nor ironbark trees and E. 

 coriacea A. Cunn. is also absent from the Blue mountains proper. 

 The most important observations are as fol'.ows: 



E. Moorei n. sp. is closely allied to E. stelliilata Sieb., of which it 

 has been looked upon as a variety (var. angustifolia Benth.) but it differs 

 in the narrow-lanceolate juvenile leaves and in being only a slender shrub 

 up to 10 or 12 feet in height; E. amygdalina Labill. var. nitida Benth. 

 may possibly be a vaüd species after all; the true affinity of E. virgata 

 Sieb, appears to be with E. Sieberiana since the young seedlings are 

 very similar; three cases, suggestive of hybridisation (e. g. E. Moorei 

 Maiden X E. stricto Sieb.). F. E. Fritsch.

Alpen. (Mitth. d. Bayer. Bot. Gesellsch. z. Erforschg. der 



heim. Flora. No. 37. 1905. p. 477—481.) 



In der Abhandlung giebt der Verf. in der Hauptsache einen Bericht 

 über das Resultat der botanischen Durchforschung von zwei kleinen, in 

 den Salzburger Alpen gelegenen Hochmooren, über welche bo- 

 tanische Notizen bisher fast nicht vorliegen. Die beiden Moore sind 

 das Rötheimoor, ein Thalmoor in einer Meereshöhe von 880 m, 

 und das Winkelmoor bei der Winkelmoos alpe, ein Ge- 

 hängemoor, in einer Höhe von 1150 — 1250 m. Von beiden giebt der 

 Verf. sowohl eine allgemeine Schilderung des Vegetationsbildes als auch 

 ausführliche Formationslisten über die Mitte August gefundenen Phanero- 

 gamen, Gefässkryptogamen, Laub- und Lebermoose (in lichenologischer 

 und mykologischer Flinsicht wurden nur vereinzelte Vorkommnisse fest- 

 gestellt), mit dem Bemerken, dass ein Besuch im Juni oder Juli noch 

 manche Vervollständigung derselben liefern würde. Diese Zusammen- 

 stellungen sind noch besonders werthvoll, weil diejenigen Pflanzen, die 

 für die horizontale oder verticale Verbreitung vor allem in Betracht 

 kommen, durch Cursivdruck hervorgehoben sind.
