a considerably long list of indeterminable names mainly from 

 Gaudicliaud in ' Voyage de la Bonite.' Count Solms divides 

 Pandaniis into eight sections (types) by the structure of the ovary 

 and male flowers ; he gives, when possible, full descriptions and 

 synonymy ; and having had the opportunity of examining all the 

 principal European herbaria, he clears up several pieces of con- 

 fused synonymy. In Pandanus we find six new species, and in 

 Freycinetia no less than nine. The paper was printed before the 

 a]Dpearance of Dr. I. B. Balfour's account of the Mascarene species 

 in Baker's ' Flora of Mauritius,' but the author adds a short sup- 

 plementary note, giving the names of the additions made in Dr. 

 Balfour's monograph. 



The Bulletin of the Bussey Institution (January, 1878) contains 

 the second part of Prof. Farlow's List of Fungi found near Boston, 

 which is followed by numerous critical notes on the species and on 

 others from various parts of the United States.
