Lyallii, Armstrong) ; " Description of a new Fiujuh {F. Blairii) " 

 with plate); and "Notes on the New Zealand Beeches." We are 

 sorry to see that Mr. Kirk encourages by example the ugly and un- 

 authorised spelling which substitutes a small initial for the capital 

 in commemorative names. 



We are glad to learn that the valuable information contained 

 in the ' Herefordshire Pomona ' with reference to the cider and 

 perry industry of Hereford, Worcester, Gloucester, Devon, and 

 Somerset will be issued in a form easily accessible to those who 

 cannot afford the larger work. It will embrace a history of the 

 orchards and their management, a description of the best varieties 

 of fruits, the chemical analysis of their various juices, and an 

 account of the manufacture of cider and perry. Woodcut sections 

 of the best varieties of fruit will be given. The price to subscribers 

 will be 5s. : address, Messrs. Jakeman & Camer, High Town,

Dr. Wittrock has issued a first fasciculus, containing twelve 

 numbers, of ' Erythrfeie exsiccatae,' the specimens in which are of 

 great beauty and interest. They are : E. pulchella Sm. and typica; 

 eight forms of " E. vulgaris (Kafn.) Wittr." (which we usually call 

 E. littoralis Fr., and which is recognised by Dr. Wittrock as the 

 plant of the ' Noviti^e ' ed. i. and of most Swedish authors ; 

 E. glomerata Wittr., a new species much resembling E. capitata, 

 but placed in a different section ; E. Centaunum L, a. typica and 

 E. capitata «. typica. This last, from Oeland, seems to us to 

 correspond very closely with Mr. Townsend's var. sphasrocephala, 

 but Dr. Wittrock (who has compared his specimens with the 

 original ones of E. capitata in the Berlin Museum) says that the 

 latter " differt floribus paullo minoribus, laciniis corollae paullulo 

 magis ovalibus obtusisque, sepalis paullo brevioribus." Notes are 

 attached to each specimen, and in the Botaniska Notiser for 1884, 

 pp. 110 — 118, other remarks upon them by Dr. Wittrock will be 

 found.
