476 Bibliographical Notices, 



Mrs. Edward Roscoe, of Liverpool ; and descriptions by the Rev. 

 William Hincks, F.L.S., of York. The work will appear in Numbers, 

 in 4to, each of eight plates, price 10s. Gd., and will extend from 

 seven to ten numbers. We know that every facility will be afforded 

 to this accomplished lady, especially by specimens from gardens, to 

 make this work worthy of the public patronage. The plates will of 

 course be coloured, and executed in lithography by M. Gauci. 



British Flora. Fourth edition. 



The fourth edition of Sir W. J. Hooker's British Flora (contain- 

 ing the phamogamous Plants and Ferns) has lately appeared, with 

 considerable alterations and additions. We may mention particularly 

 that the present volume is accompanied, without any additional cost, 

 by four plates of numerous figures, beautifully executed in litho- 

 graphy : two of these plates are devoted to the illustration of all 

 the genera of the grasses ; the other two to those of the umbelliferous 

 j)lants, which will tend materially to facilitate the student in at- 

 taining a knowledge of those interesting but difficult tribes. 



The same author has recently published the first part, with twelve 

 beautifully coloured plates, imperial 8vo, of his ' Genera Filicum,' 

 from drawings executed by Francis Bauer, Esq., Botanic Painter to 

 Her Majesty ; also the sixth part of the Botany of ' Capt. Beechey's 

 Voyage', and the ninth part of the ' Flora Boreali- Americana'.
