 Inform. 1919: 207-208. 1919. — Kew has a set of about 600 drawings, most of which appear to 

 have belonged to Claude Martin (1731-1800), officer of the East India Company and later 

 major-general in the Bengal Army. Most of the plants are named by William Roxburgh, 

 who received material for his Flora Indica from Martin, who lived at Lucknow 1776-1800. 

 With this collection are other drawings of plants from the Caucasus or Northern Persia, 

 probably made for Sir Gore Ouseley when ambassador to Persia 1810-1814. — M. F. Warner.

99. Barbey, a. Le Pare National Suisse. [The Swiss National Park.] Rev. Eaux 

 et Forets 58: 353-356. 1920. — The Swiss National Park, comprising 14,000 hectares in the 

 Engadine, was created through the efforts of the Swiss League for the Protection of Nature. 

 Its purpose is not to serve as a mecca for tourists, but as a vast, open-air, scientific laboratory 

 removed from the influence of man and devoted to the free development of vegetable and ani- 

 mal life. Hunting, grazing, and lumbering are prohibited. A Commission of Scientific 

 Study has been established to observe and record all manifestations of nature in the park and, 

 with the aid of a corps of Swiss naturalists, to publish monographs on its geology, fauna, 

 flora, climatology, etc. — S. T. Dana.
