KurziNG, FREDERIC Trave: Species Algarum. 8vo. Leipzig, 1849. 
This is a synopsis of all the known genera and species of what are 
now generally considered to come under the denomination of Ælgæ, by 
one who has already laboured much and successfully in this field. The 
Alga, usually esteemed a family or order in themselves, are here divided 
into, Ist, Classes, 2nd, Sub-classes, Brd, Tribes, 4th, Orders, 5th, Fa- 
emt and lastly, Genera and Species. The genera exceed 396 ; but we 
fear that, with only brief characters of the divisions aud subdivisions, 
and of the genera and species, with no diagnoses and no descriptions, 
ihe Tysa can make Bs if any de of such a work, unless he has the 
e 
means of the cited especially i in the ** Phy- 
cologia generalis” We are, however, greatly indebted to the learned 
author for thus bringing together and arranging systematically the mul- 
titadinous species of marine and fresh-water 4/7. Closely printed, 
and averaging perhaps nine species on a.page, the work yet extends to 
900 pages.

WarPzns : Annales Botanices Systematic. Vol.i. 1848-1849, Leipzig. 
The first Number of this was announced at p. 29 of our present 
volume; and we have now the satisfaction of being able to say that the 
volume is completed in 1127 pages, including a full Index of the Orders, 
Suborders, Genera, Sections, Species, and Synonyms. It is, as already 
stated, a supplement to the learned author’s “ Repertorium,” and con- 
tains all the pheenogamie plants which were published in a multitude 
of works, as far as he had access to them, which appeared during the 
years 1846-1847. Should the state of public affairs in Germany 
permit, a second volume, embracing the plants published during the 
years 1848-1849, is promised early in the following year.
