ARTICLES IN JOURNALS. 287 



We have received two singularly useless little books which 

 form part of "Darlington's Naturalist Series," and are issued by a 

 publisher of that name at Llangollen. The first is entitled 'Wild 

 Flowers of the Vale of Llangollen, Corwen, and Bala'; the second, 

 1 Wild Flowers of Aberystwith and Cardigan Bay ' ; and there are 

 others of the same kind. No author's name is given, so that we can 

 hurt no one's feelings by characterizing the books as rubbish. 

 They are full of blunders, and give no information of value : 

 moreover, no Grasses or Sedges are included. Matthiola "vincana" 

 appears in each ; the latter contains Saxifraga Hirculus, S. umbrosa, 

 Trifolium stellatum, T. glomeratum, Astragalus hypoglottis, Daphne 

 Mezereum, Senecio pal udosus ; while Trifolium strictuvi, Filago gallica, 

 Gladiolus communis, Leucojum cestivum, Crocus vermis, and the like, 

 adorn the fields of Llangollen. The fact that such lists can find 

 purchasers (if they do so) causes melancholy reflections.
