Select Extra-Tropical Plants. — Owing to an oversight we 

 have omitted to announce the recent publication of the ninth 

 edition of this well-known work, one by which the author, Baron 

 F. von Mueller, K.C.M.G., Government Botanist of Victoria, has, 

 if possible, added further lustre to his name, and at the same 

 time conferred great benefits on the pioneers of agricultural and 

 allied pursuits throughout Australasia. The present edition 

 extends to 655 pages, exceeding the eighth (issued in 1888) by 

 some 140 pages. The articles have received considerable 

 revision. Particulars of several new economic plants have been 

 included, together with notes of the experience gained with regard 

 to others recommended in previous editions. Merely as a work 

 of reference oil botanical matters the book is a valuajjle addition 

 to any library, while to any persons desiring to turn their attention 

 to the productions of the soil it is simply invaluable, as the fact 

 that it has run through so many editions amply proves.
