In noticing preceding numbers of this work which have come to 



+ 



hand we have remarked that these authors are doing work for the 

 materia medica of India, which for completeness, value and interest 

 entitled it to compare with the work done by Fliickiger and Han- 

 bury in their famous Pharmacographia. 



In the present number we have in the pages before us an account 

 of about 100 drugs, which represent the following orders: Com- 

 positto, Campanulaceee, Ericacese, Plumbagineaa, Primulacese, Myr- 

 siuefe, Sapotaceae, Ebenaceae, Styracese, Oleaceae, Salvadoracese, 

 Apocynacea3, Asclepiadese, Loganiacese, Gentianaceee, Boragine^e, 

 Convolvulaceee, Solanacese. 



The excellence of the contributions will receive the acknowledge 

 ment of all botanists, and the reliability of the material is assured 

 from the names of the authors, hence the work may be regarded as 

 having all the information at present known of the respective drugs 

 mentioned. The contributions to science by these gentlemen entitle 

 them to warm praise, {Pkarm, Record. July 30th, 1891.)

Part IV. of this work, now before us, completes its second volume,

 procured from the orders of Sapotaceae, Styracese, Apocynacese, 

 Asclepiadeee, Loganiacese, Gentianaceae, Convolvulaceae, and Solan- 

 aceae. This part is characterized by all the excellencies upon which 

 we have commented in connection with the preceding parts on their 

 publication. Among the plants a nimiber are noticed which are 

 either indigenous or spontaneous in North Ameiica, like chicory, 



Anasallis arvensis, dulcamara, stra-
