146 Notes and Comments. 
1888. The supplement is now practically ready, and includes 
particulars of several additional records. Mr. Arnold E. 
Bradley has taken the responsibility for the difficult group, 
the brambles, and Mr. W. Ingham is responsible for the mosses. 
In the Supplement Mr. Lees groups, as far as data permit, 
the present and extinct Yorkshire species, in order of their 
sequence in time, and the source from which they came to us. 
A NEW: BRITISH FLORA. 
About a hundred years have elapsed since the appearance 
of the last volume of Sir J. E. Smith’s ° English Botany,’ with 
illustrations by James Sowerby, and about fifty years since the 
appearance of the first volume of Boswell- Syme’ s edition of that 
epoch-making work. The time appears to be ripe, therefore, 
for the issue of another illustrated Flora of this country. The 
Cambridge University Press have made arrangements for the 
appearance of such a Flora, by Dr.C. E. Moss. The author 
will receive assistance from specialists in several critical genera. 
Engler’s system of classification will, generally speaking, be 
followed; and the first volume to appear will deal with the 
earlier Dicotyledonous families from the Salicaceae to the 
Chenopodiaceae. The work will be illustrated by pen and ink 
drawings by Mr. E. W. Hunnybun, about 1750 of which have 
already been completed. Each of Mr. Hunnybun’s drawings 
has been made from living specimens; each plant has been 
drawn natural size; and, in the case of critical species and 
varieties, the name of each specimen has been vouched for by 
some competent authority, whose letter of identification has 
been preserved. In addition to these drawings, each volume 
will contain numerous photographs of plants in their natural 
habitats; and maps, showing the distribution of the more 
interesting genera and species, will also be a special feature. | 
It is expected that the work will be completed in ten volumes. 
REFERENCES TO PUBLICATIONS. 
We have before us quite a number of publications with 
double-barrelled references, the utility of which is difficult to con- 
ceive. For instance, a 35-page pamphlet, entitled ‘ Transactions 
of the Manchester Geological and Mining Society,’ is issued 
s ‘Vol. XXXII., parts 1 and:2... Why would not ‘ Vol. 32, 
part I.’ do, and leave ‘ part 2’ for the next issue? Similarly, 
“The New Phytologist ’ just to hand is ‘ Vol. X. Nos. 1 and 2, 
Jan. to Feb., 1911, published March 13th.’ Would not * Vol.X., 
No. 1, March 13th’ convey all that is necessary ? Two parts 
of the ‘ Exsex Naturalist ’ have been received, one is referenced 
s * Parts i jand:1Y.,. Vol. Vi Oct. sooo Wan aor. and 
is ‘ published Dec. 1910’; the other is labelled © Parts V. and 
VI., Vol. XVI., Feb. to July, 1910,’ and * published: Feb: 71a.
