Island,' ' the Algae of Graiiton Quarry,' and ' the oil-bodies of Jun- 

 f/erviannhr,' by J.Rattray; ' the germination of Podophi/Uuiii, and the 

 occurrence of foliage-leaves in Iluscus androgynus,' by A. Dickson. 



The ' Proceedings of the Holmesdale Natural History Club ' for 

 1882-83 have lately been issued. There is a list of localities of 

 rare Surrey plants by Mr. W. H. Summers ; and a record of a new 

 locality on Eeigate Heath for Xartheciiun Ossifnujiuii, to which "it 

 was afterwards ascertained that the plant had been introduced some 

 years ago by Mr. N. G. Brown, of Kew." We reproduce the state- 

 ment in order that so misleading a practice may do as little harm 

 as possible. 



We have received ' Tree Gossip,' by Mr. F. G. Heath, published 

 by Field & Tuer, Leadenhall Press, E.G. It is beautifully printed.
