name stands first on the list, is described as "Nomenclator of Bury 

 Botanical Association," and as this information is supplied by him- 

 self, it is no doubt accurate, although we cannot even guess what 

 are the duties of the post. They seem to be onerous, for there is 

 also a " Vice-Nomenclator," and the Association is also represented 

 on the list by its " Senior Steward," whose name as printed — 

 "Haslam" — suggests that he is a member of the peerage; by its 

 Secretary and Librarian, and other officers. There are two "gentle- 

 men" on the list, one " meat purveyor," one "bishop-assistant," 

 one "life member of the British Association," one " pawnbrocker," 

 and one " county analist." 



As we remarked some time since, when reviewing another book 

 of this kind, it is to be regretted that the compiler does not submit 

 his proofs to some representative of each country for correction — 

 failing any one better, we would gladly look them through for 

 England. By so doing, he would avoid many of the misprints 

 which are otherwise inevitable. Herr Dorfler has, on the whole, 

 succeeded very well with his English names, but " Lirencester," 

 "the Growe," " Triniti," and the like would at once have caught 

 the eye of an English proof-reader, who would also have corrected 

 the statement that Sir Joseph Hooker is " Director of the Eoyal 

 Botanic Gardens." But the book is a most useful compilation, 

 and, indeed, is indispensable to those botanists who have an 

 extensive correspondence.
