Botanists in Germany and Austria.*—The library has received 
through Dr. Stapf a pamphlet the purpose of which is to give the 
names of botanists at the numerous scientific institutions in 
Germany and Austria. In view of the fact that the latest edition 
of Dorfler’s ‘‘ Botaniker-Adressbuch ”’ was issued in 1909, and is 
therefore out-of-date, the need of Prof. Janchen’s list has been 
much felt. It supplies first the names of the institutions in 
Germany, arranged under towns. Separate lists are given for 
Austria and for German institutions in Czecho Slovakia. These 
are followed by an index to the institutions arranged under 
subjects, and finally an index to personal names is provided. 
ese Plant Names.j—Under the direction of the Chief 
Conservator of Forests, Siam, a list of the vernacular names of 
trees, shrubs, etc., with their botanical equivalents has recently 
been compiled and published. The vernacular names are given 
in Siamese and roman characters and are arranged under Siamese 
letters as explained on the contents page. The work is intended 
for forest officers, timber merchants and students and should 
prove of much use locally, but without an alphabetical index in 
roman characters it loses much of its value to workers un- 
acquainted with Siamese.
