Botanical Bulletin by Mr. Rock. 



There has just been issued as an illustrated publication of the 

 College of Hawaii (Bulletin No. 1), "Notes upon Hawaiian 

 Plants, with Descriptions of New Species and Varieties," by 

 Joseph F. Rock. In that Air. Rock is now consulting botanist of 

 this Board and that much of the field work on which this bul- 

 letin is based was done while he was still botanical assistant on 

 our staiT, it is appropriate that it should be noted here. Copies 

 of the bulletin may be obtained upon application to the College 

 of Hawaii, Honolulu.
