BOOK-NOTES, NEWS, dc. 



The Messrs. Linton are about to issue a set of British Hieracia, 

 which should be of service in determining these critical plants. The 

 set will be issued in four or more fascicles, of not less than twenty- 

 five numbers each ; price £1 for each fascicle (carriage free). The 

 first two fascicles are in an advanced state of preparation, and the 

 remainder will be ready to send out at intervals of a year or more. 

 Each number will commonly contain a wild and a cultivated speci- 

 men ; or wild only, if such can be procured to represent the species 

 well ; or cultivated only, if the wild are not procured in sufficient 

 quantity. Cultivated specimens are relied on to illustrate the 

 type, since those produced in nature are frequently aberrant or 

 deformed or deficient in foliage, owing to the struggle for ex- 

 istence ; whereas plants grown in suitably poor soil, and free 

 from crowding, give specimens such as may be found in nature 

 under favourable circumstances. Address: — Rev. W. R. Linton, 

 Shirley Vicarage, Derby. 



The Rev. Horace "Waller, rector of Twymell, Northamptonshn-e, 

 who died at that place on Feb. 22nd, is commemorated by Sir John 

 Kirk in the genus Walleria. He was for some time unofficially 

 connected with missionary work in Africa, and subsequently joined 

 the Central African Mission under Bishop Mackenzie ; on his return 

 to England he brought an interesting collection of the plants of 

 that region. He took orders in the Established Church in 1867-8, 

 becoming rector of Twymell in 187-1.
