6. Endlicher’s Genera Plantarum.—Since our notice of this in- 
valuable work in the number of this Journal for July last, we have 
received the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th numbers. The latter, pub- 
~ Jished in June last, reaches to the 1200th page. It contains a part of 
his class Calyciflore, and breaks off in the middle of his 267th order, 
Lythrariee. Two, or perhaps three, additional numbers, will appa- 
rently bring the work to a conclusion, as the Rosacee and the Legu- 
minose are the chief remaining orders. 
%. Enumeratio Chenopodearum.—Mr. Moquin-Tandon, of Tou- 
louse, who has long made the Chenopodiacez and the related families 
his peculiar study, has published a complete monograph of the order. 
We have not yet seen the work, but are informed that it isa small 
octavo volume, published at Paris. ite 
8. Stendel’s Nomenclator Botanicus.—A new edition of this well 
known work, which has been so long a desideratum, is now in the 
course of publication at Leipsic. If we are rightly informed it will 
follow the classification of De Candolle, and that a complete index of 
genera, species, and synonyms, for all the orders yet published in the 
Prodromus, will very shortly be in the hands of botanists. © 
9. Caricography.—Prof. Kunze, of Leipsic, has commenced to 
publish, in-occasional numbers, a continuation of Schkuhr’s 
graphy, in which he intends to give figures of all the species ' 
are not represented in that well known work. It is said, also, that 
Prof. Kunze will publish a continuation of Schkuhr’s similar work on 
the ferns. 
10. Fossil Infusoria in England.—The Journal of } 
June, 1840, contains a paper ‘‘ On a white fossil powder | 
a bog in Lincolnshire, composed of the silicious frag ments of micro- 
scopical parasitical Conferve ; by J. E. Bowman, Esq., F. LB 
He gives a history of their discovery by Prof. Ehrenbergy and @ DO” 
tice of the article of Prof. Bailey, (who first detected them in this 
country,)* which ‘ stimulated scientific men to examine similar depo 
sitions wherever they might occur, for as yet it was not suspected that 
any thing of a like nature existed in Great Britain.” Dr. Drummond, 
of Belfast, announced their discovery in Ireland, in the Magazine of 
Natural History for July, 1839, in the form of an earthy powder 
brownish when wet, but of the whiteness of chalk when drys and a8
