V., pt. 5. Foraminifères, by Orbigny. 81 pp. 
The titlepage of the “ Foraminifères » js dated 1839, the wrapper 
is dated 1843. Troschel in 1840 (Wiegmann, Arch. pp. 398-462) 
translated and printed the whole work. Apparently the work was 
printed by the government and ready for publication by 1839, but 
for some reason or other was delayed. The fact that Troschel re- 
printed the paper, however, allows us to take the original date of 
1839, rather than to disturb the history of so many specific names.

VII. Botanique. 
Dates as on the titlepages. Wiegm. Arch. 1850, ii. p. 307. 
Orbigny himself often dated his species, and in so doing he 
frequently put the date of the writing of the MS.; this practice 
hus, however, been condemned by all naturalists, and the species 
must date from the date of publication. The history of the publi- 
cation of this book is curious, but not unusual among French works 
of this nature. It was issued in livraisons, many of which consisted 
of plates only + a wrapper ; unfortunately we are able to find only 
a very few references to the contents of the livraisons, and have 
therefore relied upon Wiegmanu’s Arch. for in that book more often 
than not a minute account of the contents received by the recorder is 
placed under review. The following are specimens of the notes in 
our hands, from which it will be seen that at present it is hopeless 
to deal with the date of the plates, even did we think it advisable 
to do 80 :—
