@ane@ XVII, (Opus Posthumum ab Scient. Danica Soc. editum, pp. 4 
imp. 4to, 1844.)—The late S. Drejer, of Copenhagen, author of th 
Revisio Critica Caricum Borealium, etc., 1841, died just as he was ri 
sing into high reputation as a Caricologist, and while preparing more 
extended works upon his favorite genus. This posthumous production 
was doubtless intended as merely the first of a considerable series. 
Several interesting North American species are admirably represented 
in the plates, and of the natural size, viz. Carex Shortiana, Devw., 
s, Eil., C. Cherokeensis, Schwein., C. stenolepis, Torr., 
C. squarrosa, Bins: Weare glad to learn that the C. stenolepis of 
Torrey is to retain its name, the earlier homonym of Lessing being, a8 
Drejer asserts, only a boreal and depauperate form of C. vesicaria. 
The introduction contains some observations on the natural group- 
ing of Carices, illustrated by three elaborate engraved tables.
