Jor the correct spelling of the Chinchona genus, by Clements 
R. Markham, c.B., F. R.s., commendador da Real Ordem de 
Christo, Socius Academiz Czsarez Naturze Curiosorum, cogno- 
men Chinchon. London, Triibner & Co., 1874. 99 pages, 
4°, with wood-cuts, a map, and 2 heraldic figures in gold print. 
Price 28 marks (about $7). 
The title of this elegantly executed polemic represents its 
purpose, the displacement of the word Cinchona by the diplo- 
matically more correct Chinchon (see page 87). The author 
gives, furthermore, all the information regarding the Countess 
Chinchon, which, through his sagacity, was still capable of being 
obtained from her home. Compare, regarding this publication, 
the review in Buchner’s Refertorium fiir Pharmacie, XXIV 
(1875), 178; also Hanbury, Scéence Papers, 1876, page 475.
