Economic hotanists will read with interest the three chapters on 
Labdanum, Storax, and Mastich ; that relating to Labdauum, a gxira- 
rcsiu exuded by Cistus CreticuSy Linn., and collecting on the beard of 
goats, is perhaps the most complete; wlulst that relating to Storax is 
rather unsatisfactory, astu'o of the most important articles on this sub- 
ject have escaped the notice of our authors. We mean that published 
a few years ago by Mr, Daniel Hanbury Q Pharmaceutical Journal ' and 
^Bonplaudia'), in which that author, with his usual painstaking accu- 
racy and indefatigable research, almost exhausts the subject.. The 
other one is that published years ago by Sir J. E. Smith in the LInnean 
Society's Transactions, and in which the curious fact is ponited out, 
that the Liquidambar of which a few trees are cultivated in Cyprus is 
not L, o?'ie?daIe, but the American species ! 
The type and paper of the work are yery good ; but, though piinted 
by the Vienna University Press, we regret to add that, like most of the 
publicatious issuing from that office, the work is much disfigured 
by misprints. The following list may serve as a specimen, and might 
be augmented to a considerable extent : — Page 244, solstieialis,

interesting volume. 
Scenes a/ Wonder and Curiosity in Cali/ornia. Illustrated by upwards 
of 100 engraviugs. By James M. Ilutchings. Loudon: Chapman 
and Hall, 1865, 8vo, pp. 267. 
This seems to be a reprint of a book written by an American, "lo- 
cated " somewhere in tapper California, and illustrated by capital 
woodcuts taken from photographs. It is a compilation from various
