146 NOTICES OF BOOKS AND MEMOIES. 



'Journal of Botany,' and 'Transactions 'and 'Journal of the 

 Linnean Society of London.' 



Of the ' Icones Plantarum,' the first part of vol. iii. of the new 

 series, containing plates 1201-1225, was published on June 1st, 

 and the second part, with plates 1226-1250, on December 1st. 

 As these dates are given merely on the temporary paper covers, 

 which are usually destroyed, it is well to record them here. 



Part 4 of vol. i. of the new series of the Linnean Society's 

 'Transactions,' bears the printed date, "December, 1876," but was 

 not published till January, 1877 ; and the new species contained 

 in it are therefore included in this catalogue. 



Dr. I. B. Balfour's Rodriguez novelties were published in the 

 Linnean Society's ' Journal ' on May 31st, thus ante-dating by 

 fully two months Mr. Baker's ' Flora of Mauritius,' although, 

 from the manner in which this latter work is referred to by Dr. 

 Balfour, it would be naturally inferred to have been previously 

 published. 



There are several other species considered new, but to which 

 no specific appellations have been given, in the first part of Mr. 

 Ball's Spicilegium Florae Maroccan^ (' Journ. Linn. Soc.,' xvi., 

 pp. '281-376). Also, in Mr. Baker's Systema Lidacearum ('Journ. 

 Linn. Soc, xvi., pp. 61-180) are a good many names without 

 descriptions,* which are consequently omitted in the following 

 list.
