Bohler's Lichenes BritannicL 525 



Hints for the Management of a small Garden. 8vo, 72 

 pages. London, 1835. 25. 6d. 



The botany occupies 22 pages, in which the more com- 

 monly occurrent Linnaean terms and the Linnsean classifica- 

 tion are explained, and the species of plants are named, in 

 most cases, in which illustrations of the explanations may be 

 found. Instructions on forming a Hortus Siccus, occupy two 

 pages. Pages 25 to 68 include "Hints for the Management 

 of a small Garden, especially in a Town." These hints are 

 from practice, and are valuable. They are concluded by a 

 chapter " On Birds, &c, as Objects of Interest in a Garden." 

 The last four pages are occupied by a " Description of a 

 Garden," in verse, and by " A Defence of Botany," in verse. 



Bolder, J. : Lichenes Britannici ; or, Specimens of the Lichens 



of Britain, with Descriptions and Occasional Remarks. 



In monthly fasciculi. No. I. June ; No. II. July ; No. III. 



August. 8vo. 35. 6d. each. Sheffield and London, 1835. 



In our p. 416. are the names of the species that are illus- 

 trated in No. I. We have not seen No. I. nor No. II. In 

 No. III., before us, the following species are illustrated : — 

 Lecidea geographica, by a coloured figure ; these by dried 

 specimens, Parmelia omphalodes, Gyrophora erosa, Borrera 

 tenella, Ramalina yraxinea and fastigiata, Cladonia furcata, 

 and Scyphophorus fimbriatus. The figure and specimens 

 supplied are characteristic ones ; but we are disposed to wish 

 for, for ourselves, a larger quantity of specimens of Ramalina 

 yraxinea and Scyphophorus fimbriatus, species not rare. The 

 specimens are affixed to stiff paper, and this of a size so much 

 extra to octavo, as to allow the part extra to cover the speci- 

 men, or the figure, when folded over it. In the text are 

 stated the characteristics of the genera and species illus- 

 trated, references to works in which the illustrated species 

 are elucidated, habitats, and short " Occasional Remarks."
