Nomenclature of the arborescent flora of the United States, G. B. Sudwortii 

 {UjtS. Dept. A(jr., Division of Forestry Bvl. 14, pp. 419). — In this bulletin the author 

 gives the nomenclature, together with the synonymy, of the 492 species represent- 

 ing our arborescent flora. This enumeration does not include a large number of 

 recognized hybrids and cultural varieties. In compiling the bulletin the author 

 has followed the Rochester Code of Botanical Nomenclature, and in the appendix 

 are given the Paris Code of 1867, the Rochester Code of 1892, and the Rules of the 

 American Ornithological Union of 1886. 



Is protection against forest fires practicable? B. E. Feknow ( U. S. Dept. Agr., 

 Division of Forestry fire. 14, pp. 4). — Statements are quoted from the Report of the 

 Commissioner of Crown Lands of the Province of Ontario, from the Forest Commis- 

 sioner of Pennsylvania, and from letters from the H. M. Loud and Sons Lumber Com- 

 pany, of Michigan, to show that it is possible, practicable, simple, and cheap to pro- 

 tect large areas from fire. The cost of the protective service and of burning debris 

 is shown to be insignificant in comparison to the loss from fires.
