ARTICLES IN JOURNALS. 189 



In one or two cases British plants are numbered as species 

 which in our Manuals are not considered as such. The author 

 has not apparently considered it necessary to refer to all Italian 

 published species, though several are noticed as " sp. dubia." 

 Doubtless many (as Bivoni's) are merely local forms. 



At the end of the ' Flora ' is given a complete list of the 

 mountains, arranged in groups, with the heights of the principal 

 peaks. From this it appears the highest point in " Italia superiore " 

 is 4815 metres, " I. media," 2919 met., "I. inferiore," 2248 met., 

 Corsica 2673 met., Sardinia 1918 met., and Sicily 3312 met. The 

 book is furnished with a capital index of the scientific names, but 

 the popular names are not indexed. For the determination 

 of Italian species the book will be valuable, not only to workers at 

 home, but also to travellers, bringing as it does into a compact 

 form descriptions before scattered through many volumes.
