European Mosses.* — G. Eoth publishes the eleventh and concluding 

 part of his " Europaischen Laubmoose." The whole work forms two 

 thick volumes, and contains upwards of 1:300 pages of text, illustrated 

 by 62 plates, on which are figured nearly 1250 species ; and it has been 

 published in the short space of a year and a half. It treats of the 

 mosses of all Europe, and figures an authentic sample of each species, 

 some hundreds of the species having never been figured previously. 

 The descriptions are re-written uniformly from the author's point of 

 view, the important characters being italicised, but there are no keys to 

 genera or species, nor are the magnifications of the figures given. The 

 work is fully indexed.
