236 The Irish Naturalist. November, 



The Bibliography contains a list of a considerable number of the 

 papers published, principally by foreign authors, since 1855 ; it is not 

 by any means complete, one important omission being Canon Norman's 

 "Revision of British Mollusca" in the Annals and Magazine of Natural 

 History for 1890. 



A few errata may be pointed out: -descriptions are given o{ Lamclli- 

 doris hiteocincta and Loi/ianofiis viai vioratus, but these species are not 

 mentioned on page 93, in the classes of species noticed ; pp. 140, 141, 

 142, T43, Alder's measurements of the lengths oi Elysia viridis, Liniapontia 

 nigra, L. depressit^ and Acteonia corrttgala should be decimals of an inch, 

 not of a millimetre ; p. 147, Doris verrucosa, is not figured in the Mono- 

 graph as stated. 



The figures are excellent, but it is a matter of regret that figures are 

 not given of other species recently found on British coasts, e.g. of Doris 

 verrucosa, Doto cinerea, &c. On the whole, however, the author is to be 

 congratulated on the production of a work forming a fitting Supple- 

 ment to Alder and Hancock's classic Monograph and an important 

 addition to the literature of British marine zoology.

IRISH BOTANY FOR GERMAN READERS. 



Die Fiora von Ireland. Von T. Johnson. Vegetationsbilder her- 

 ausgegebeu von Dr. G. Karsthn und Dr. H. Schenck. Achte 

 Reihe, Heft 5 — 6. Tafel 25—36. 4to. Jena, 1910. 



This handsome production consists of a series of twelve quarto plates 

 from photographs, by R. Welch, with brief accompanying letterpress. 

 The plates consist for the most part of photographs specially procured 

 by Mr. Welch and the present writer for the purposes of his " Tourist's 

 Flora of the West of Ireland ;" others were taken for his " Open-air 

 Studies in Botany;' and others again for the " Natural History of Lam- 

 bay," in this Journal, and for the Report of the Kenmare Field Club 

 Conference ; none of the photographs were taken especially for the 

 present publication. The plates are well produced, and the publishers 

 have done full justice to Mr. Welch's excellent work. The letterpress 

 consists of a sketch}- introduction, and of brief notes, sometimes about 

 the plant under review, sometimes about other things. The information 

 given is not always accurate, as when Sisyrinchiuvi angustifolium, which 

 ranges up into Ulster, is described as occurring " very locally in the S. 

 and S.W."
