Verzeichniss der in Jahre 1832 im ostlichen Theile der Altai-gehirges 

 gesammelten Pflanzen. Ein Supplement zur Flora Altaica, von Al. 

 V. Bunge. 8vo. St. Petersburg, 1836. 



This Supplement to the Flora Altaica is quite essential to all those 

 who possess that excellent work. It is extracted from the Memoires 

 de I'Academie de St. Petersbourg, and contains a catalogue, with nu- 

 merous descriptions and observations, of the plants collected by M. 

 Bunge in the eastern part of the Altai Mountains in 1832, and not- 

 withstanding its German title, is wholly written in Latin. Many new 

 plants are described, and fuller accounts given of species incom- 

 pletely noticed in the Flora Altaica. 



Fungorum et Byssorum Illustrationes, 8iC. By F, Fulg. Chevallier. 



Fasc. I. With 52 coloured Plates. Lipsise, Strasburgi et Parisiis, 



1837. 



This work contains many beautifully drawn and well-executed 

 plates, especially of the larger Fungi. The illustrations of the more 

 minute species we think far less happy, and they are extremely poor 

 in anatomical details. We find, too, more than one well-known spe- 

 cies published as new. 



Pterodinia nivea is clearly Isaria intricata, var. subsimplex, Schura. 



Fusisporium palustre has long since been published by Desmaziere, 

 under the name of Psilonia Arundinis, and it is described in the third 

 volume of Fries. 



Psilonia Buxi, already placed by Fries in the genus Fusisporium, has 

 a new specific name given to it. 



If we mistake not, JEthalium malanum is a state of Licea cylindrica, 

 figured by Nees under the name of Dermodium fallax . 



A few other points of less importance might be noticed. 



With these exceptions the work may be pronounced as a beautiful 

 contribution to the stock of Mycological illustrations, though it does 

 not make any important addition to our knowledge of Fungi.
