MISCELLANEOUS NOTES AND NEWS. 



Several new species and varieties of Carex from the Pacific 

 Coast are described by Prof. L. H. Bailey in the Boianical 

 Oazeite for January: Carex Hasseiivom. the San Bernardino 

 Range; C. Idahoa from Beaver Canon, Idaho; C. Congdoni 

 from Tuolomne and Mono counties, California; C. qiiadrifida 

 Bailey, var. caeca irotn San Jacinto MountaiDs, San Diego 

 Co.; Carex Nebraskensis Dewey, var. ultriformis from 

 Ritzville, Washington; Carex feia Bailey, var. multa from 

 the San Jacinto Mountains, San Diego Co., and from Oregon. 

 In the same number Prof. D. H. Campbell describes a new 

 Californian liverwort, Geothallus tuhei^osus, from San Diego. 



The London Journal of Botany has increased its monthly 

 issue sixteen pages and its subscription price to sixteen shil- 

 lings. This enlargement " will give scope to various 

 branches of botany hitherto somewhat neglected." A review 

 of Dr. D. Prain's " Revision of the Genus Argemone," con- 

 cluded in the December number, will appear in our next 

 issue. 



With the December number the Boianical Gazette 

 completed its twentieth volume. In the prospectus for 1896 

 published in the January number we find the following: 

 " Starting as a small publication twenty years ago, the 

 journal now makes an aunual volume more than two and a 

 half inches thick when bound [!] and weighing over four 

 pounds." [!] Au increase in the weight of the paper might 

 readily have made the thickness of the volume five inches 

 instead of two and a half. However, the Gazette is much 

 too estimable a journal to measure its worth by avoirdupois.
