1888. | BOTANICAL GAZETTE. 247 
THE COMMISSIONERS of the state reservation at Niagara requested 
Mr. David F. Day, the well known botanist of Buffalo, to prepare a list of 
the flora of the vicinity of the falls. This list* comprises 909 species. 
Common names and remarks on the localities and relative abundance 
are given. From Mr. Day’s reputation for painstaking accuracy, we are 
sure that the catalogue may be depended upon. 
THE FIRST BULLETIN? of the division of pomology of the Department 
of Agriculture relates wholly to fruits which can only be cultivated in 
the Southern States or California. Two Japanese plums and three vari- 
eties of Japanese persimmons are figured in colors, and certainly look 
tempting enough. The remainder of-the report gives accounts of the 
growing of various tropical and semi-tropical fruits which are either now 
cultivated or might prove profitable in the localities named. The num- 
ber is surprisingly large.
