32 NOTICES OF BOOKS. 
the original papers, which were not intended for separate publication, 
have undergone revision; and wood engravings of all the species, and. 
principal varieties treated of, have been added.” The whole is 
highly creditable to Mr. Moore ; and we can confidently recommend it 
to the lover, and especially to the cultivator, of this beautiful tribe. 
De CaNpoLLE; Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Ve egetabilis. 
Tom. xii. Paris, 8vo. 1848 
Every botanist will rejoice at the appearance of this, the twelfth 
volume of the Prodromus of De Candolle. It commences with the 
Selaginacee (by Choisy). 2. We have the Labiate (by Bentham), 
containing very many additions to the previous work of Mr. Bentham 
on the same Order. 3. Stilbacee (by Alphonse De  Candolle). 
4. Globulariacee (Alph. De Candolle), and 5. Plumbaginee (by Bois- 
‘sier). Such names are a pledge to the value of the volume. 
The second part of the thirteenth volume, we are informed on the 
wrapper, containing Phytolaccacee by M. Moquin-Tandon, and Nyc- 
taginacee by M. Choisy, is in the press, and will appear in April 
1849. The first part of the thirteenth volume, containing Solanacee 
and Plantaginee, will be afterwards published. 
Port NATAL HERBARIUM. 
A very good collection of dried specimens of Port Natal Plants, 
formed by a German Naturalist, and consisting, we speak at a venture, 
and only upon a slight inspection, of perhaps 150 species, has been 
received, and are offered for sale, by Mr. Clark of St. Pancras Lane, 
Cheapside, London. We are glad to know that he has placed them 
in the hands of Mr. Heward (Young Street, Kensington) for distri- 
bution at the rate of £2. the hundred, all expences included. We can 
confidently recommend them to all botanists who desire to form an 
herbarium of that remote corner of the globe.
