60 JOURNAL OF THE ARNOLD ARBORETUM [vol. hi 



The well executed life-sized colored plates are accompanied by de- 

 scription and historical text which may have been prepared by Mile. 

 Fontaine as it is not accompanied by an author's name. 



This appears to be a rare book. It is not mentioned by Pritzel, and is 



not found in the catalogues of the libraries of the British Museum (Nat. 



Hist. Dept.), of the Royal Gardens of Kew, and of the Department of 



Agriculture of the United States; it is not mentioned in the Bradley Bibli- 

 ography.
