Algcc HiberniccE. By \Vm. M'^Calla, Associate of the Edinburgh 

 Botanical Society. Vol. I. Dublin, S. B. Oldham, 8 Suffolk 

 Street. 1845. 



Under this title Mr. M' Calla has just published a very handsome 

 volume in large-sized quarto, ])rice 1/., containing beautifully pre- 

 served specimens of fifty different species of Irisli Alga? ; and pro- 

 j)oses in future similar volumes to edit the remainder of our species, 

 as well freshwater as marine. The volume is bound in strong boards 

 covered with purple grained cloth, and the specimens are fixed on 

 peculiarly stout and tliick j)aper, so tliat they may be turned over 

 with great facility and without danger of injury. Tliose in the pre- 

 sent volume have been collected chiefly in Uoundstone Bay, county 

 Galway, a locality well known to science by Mr. M^Calla's very 

 numerous zoological and botanical discoveries, and are as follows : —
