NAIAS GRAMINEA.—We have received a brochure on this subject 
from Mr. Charles Bailey, F.L.S., being a résumé of communications 
made to the Leeuwenhoek Microscopical Club, and to the Man- 
chester Literary and Philosophical Society. The matter has been 
reprinted from the Journal of Botany, and does Mr. Bailey much 
credit, from the exhaustive manner in which he has worked at his 
subject. 
OUR SUSPENDED PUBLICATION.—Seyveral correspondents have 
written to know whether there is any possibility of our resuming 
publication later on? To this we answer yes! but at present the 
Editor’s time is so occupied that he could not think of carrying on 
The Microscopical News unaided, for no sooner is one month’s 
number out, than the worry of the next commences. Few people 
are aware of the vast amount of work required to keep even a 
small journal like this in motion.
