 " 1867. Federico Delpino, in base precipuamente alle sua geniali 

 ricercbe sulla dicogamia, distingue ed instaura, come scienzia 

 nuova, la biologia delle pinnte o dottiiua delle lore funzioni di 

 relazione coll' ambiente." At tbe end are some ratber longer 

 "note biograficbe," mostly bitberto unpublisbed, wbicb are in 

 danger of being overlooked. 



Only tbose wbo bave been engaged in similar work can form 

 an adequate idea of tbe amount of labour involved in an under- 

 taking of tbis kind. Of its usefulness wbeu done tbere can be no 

 doubt : sucb catalogues are practically a bandy epitome of tbe 

 botany of a country, and tbe bibliognipbical references are a 

 guide to its literature. Unfortunately, the number wbo are suffici- 

 ently interested in scientific work is but small ; and we trust tbat 

 Prof. Saccardo will not find bimself as much out of pocket by bis 

 venture as the compilers of tbe English IVtoiiraphical Index bave 

 been by theirs. His book is admirably printed in double columns, 

 and the broad margins afford ample room for additions and cor- 

 rections, althougb we think it would bave been more convenient for 

 reference in an octavo form.
