Bibliographical Notices* \(^ 



in this Journal. A great part of them will, we are confident, 

 maintain their ground with, it may he, a few modifications. Others 

 unavoidably excite our scepticism ; but, until arguments are ad- 

 duced on the other side, founded on something like equally cau- 

 tious and intelligent study, Mr. Cabington has a fair right to claim 

 a strong provisional authority. If any one starts, as assuredly he 

 ought to do, at being told that Arctium majus and minus constitute 

 five species, we can only counsel patience and renewed observation. 

 A large proportion of the novelties occur in the genus Hieracium, 

 where the pains bestowed by Mr. Backhouse on the cultivation of 

 doubtful forms supply an excellent check on hasty conclusions in 

 either direction. We should not omit to notice the arrangement of 

 the Grasses, whicli has been greatly improved, chiefly from Fries a^ 

 Andersson. f.^ oi h; .| J
