ARTICLES IN JOURNALS. 255 



plates are numbered consecutively — surely an awkward arrange- 

 ment. The convenience of workers would have been consulted had 

 each report been issued by itself, the bulky quarto volume being 

 inconvenient for reference. We hope to refer at greater length 

 to this very important contribution to our knowledge of plant- 

 distribution. 



Messrs. Cassell & Co. send us the first number of ' Familiar 

 Trees.' The name of the author, Mr. G. S. Boulger, is sufficient 

 guarantee that the literary portion of the work will be well done. 



Dr. Trimen has compiled a useful ' Systematic Catalogue of the 

 Flowering Plants and Ferns indigenous to or growing wild in 

 Ceylon,' arranged in accordance with the ' Genera Plautarum' and 

 the ' Flora of British India,' so far as published. It is brouglit up 

 to date, the new species now publishing in this Journal being 

 included. The list, which forms a volume of 140 pages, may be 

 obtained from Messrs. Dulau & Co., price 3&-. 6d.
