Cattle bloated by eating noxious plants may be prevented 

 dying by speedy bleeding. " Ignis fatuus, and its probable 

 cause." Has the author seen the Ent. Mag., i. 350—355.? 

 " The old English black rat," " the brown rat has now 

 nearly destroyed all" of. " Dry rot." Has the author seen 

 Kyan's Treatise on a mode of preventing ? " Turkish oaks 

 and valonia." The Quercus ^3'gilops should be commonly 

 planted to supersede the expense of importing the cups, called 

 " valonia," of its acorns. We suspect that it would not thrive

 characters and increased popular remarks. The fault of thisedi- 

 tion is that the generic characters, at least in the umbelliferous 

 and cruciferous species of plants, are lessened in simplicity 

 and conciseness, and new terms are introduced into them. —
