4. The London Journal of Botany; edited by Sir Wm. Hooxer. 
This is the title of a new monthly periodical, commencing in January 
last, which takes the place of Hooker’s Journal of Botany, and is in 
fact, a continuation of that excellent work, in the hands of a new pub- 
lisher, Bailliére, who we understand, will continue the publication of 
this author’s Icones Plantarum: We have more than once called the 
attention of our botanical readers to both these works. — This indefatiga- 
ble botanist has also announced, as nearly ready for publication, the 
first part of a new treatise upon a favorite family of plants, viz. a Spe- 
cies Filicum, or synopsis of all the known species of Ferns, with generic. 
and specific descriptions of each, and plates containing several figures 
upon each plate. Only the rarest and most interesting species are to be 
figured, particularly such as have not yet been represented in any 
published work. 
é may also state, that Prof. Kunze of Leipsic, is publishing, in 
occasional numbers, a supplement to Schkuhr’s work upon Ferns, (the 
first volume of his Vier und zanzigste Klasse des Linnéeischen Pflan- 
zensystems, oder Kryptogamische Gewitichse.) Of Prof. Kunze’s con- 
tinuation, entitled Die Farrnkrduter in koloriten Abbildungen natur- 
g -erlautert und beschrieben, four fasciculi have reached us, each 
containing twenty pages of text, (4to,) and ten finely colored plates. 
5. Kien; Supplemente der Riedgréser (Carices) zu Chr. Schkuhr’s 
Monographie, §c.—We have already noticed the first fasciculus of this
