" Kew — Royal Gardens," with a cross-reference under "Jackson"; 

 whereas Mr. Hemsley's Catalogue of the North Gallery appears 

 only under his name, and is not mentioned under Kew ; this is the 

 more remarkable, as to the fourth edition of that work no author's 

 name is attached. " Brown (Robert), of the British Museum," and 

 "Brown (Robert), of Campster," recalls the distinction made by the 

 profane between " Morris of Parnassus " and " Morris of Pcn-bryn " ; 

 surely the " botanicorum princeps " needed no local distinction? 

 This Journal, witli its somewhat confusing list of editors, is 

 correctly entered ; but vol. 14 is stated to be in 4to. 



The oddest entry, whetlier as to subject, author, or mode 

 of printing, is one which we reproduce textually : — 



" Henry VIII., Kiwj of Kwihind. Assertio Septem Sacramentorum 

 Aduersus Mart Lutheram-Henrico VIII., Anglian Rege auctore : 

 accedit Johan Rossen contra Lutheri captivitatem Babylonicam. 

 12mo. Parisiis, 1562." 



The " reader" might, we think, have attended to the distribu- 

 tion of capitals, which is far from uniform ; here are three neigh- 

 bouring entries from p. 301 : — 



" The origin of Floral structures." 



" The making of Flowers." 



" The Origin of Plant Structures." 



But the Catalogue is a valuable addition to the Society's 

 publications, and will be welcomed by the Fellows as a guide to 

 the important library of which they are collectively the owners. 

 We cannot, however, help expressing some surprise that a charge 

 should be made upon them for the work, especially as that charge 

 cannot possibly defray the expense of production. 



If we are not greatly mistaken, it was originally determined to 

 supply the Catalogue to Fellows in the same way as the other 

 publications of the Society ; and the alteration of this determination 

 was caused by the waste of money involved in the piinting of the 

 Catalogue of Periodicals to which reference has already been made. 

 No one will grudge 5s. for so handsome a book as this, but those 

 concerned have a right to complain of the spending of the Linnean 

 Society's funds upon a work, the uselessness of which was only dis- 

 covered when it had been printed off and to some limited extent 

 actually issued. Tliere is a Library Committee of the Linnean 

 Society, but apparently the supervision of the Library Catalogue 

 does not come within its duties : had it done so, a large and useless 

 expenditure in printing might have been avoided.
