Wissenschaftliche Ergebnisse einer Reise in Griechenland und in den 
Jonischen Inseln. Von Dr. Fr. Unger. (Scientific Results of a 
Voyage to Greece and the Ionian Islands. By Dr. F. Unger.) 
Vienna: Braunmüller, 1862. 8vo, 213 pp., with 45 Woodcuts, 
27 Nature-printed Illustrations, and a Geological Map of Corfu. 
Dr. Unger has of late years made several scientific tours to the 
East, and published their results. The publication before us refers to 
those obtained during his tour in Greece and the Ionian Islands, prin- - 
cipally botanical and paleontological. We have a complete list of the 
plants collected on this occasion, containing three new species (Silene 
Ungeri, Fenzl, Neckera Cephalonica, Juratzka et Ung., and N. turgida, 
Juratzka), and an enumeration of the fossil flora of Kumi, in Euboea. 
The latter is of special interest, and illustrated by numerous woodcuts. 
It comprises 56 new species, belonging to 41 genera and 29 Natural 
Orders, amongst which the Conifere, Cupulifere, Moree, Laurince, 
Proteacee, Myrsinee, and Papilionacee are most numerously repre- 
sented. Altogether 200 species were found at Kumi, 28 per cent. of 
Which proved to be new. The volume, emanating from the pen of so 
conscientious a botanist and paleontologist, is one of permanent value. 
BOTANICAL NEWS. 
Dr. Forbes Watson has published a classified list of the contributions from 
British India and its dependencies to the New Zealand Exhibition, 1865, which 
seems to have been drawn up with care, and is of value to economic botanists. 
He enumerates about 750 vegetable substances, and gives the scientific names 
of - plants from which they were derived, in many cases accompanying them

In a recent issue of * Billotia, M. Franchet advocates the propriety of making 
Lemna arrhiza the type of a new genus, to be called Bruniera vivipara, an 
to be placed amongst PAycacee. As he has seen neither the flower nor 
fruit, systematie botanists will probably demur at placing a Lemna amongst 
the seaweeds, 
Mr. Black's collection of Mosses has been acquired by the British Museum,
