We could wish to see more of these local Floras from botanists in 
various parts of this country ; it is a subject which is commanding 
ereat attention abroad, and as a means of determining the geograph- 
ical distribution and extent of plants, aside from many other advan- 
tages, they are of high importance. ‘This volume is accompanied 
by a map of Chester County, colored according to the geological 
structure of the country ; this is an idea of importance in reference 
to the local distribution of plants as affected by soil and other geo- 
logical causes. 
5. Animal Magnetism.—Mr. Thomas C. Hartshorn, of Provi- 
dence, R.I., has translated the treatise of J. P. F. Deleuze, on 
animal magnetism; and appended notes referring to cases in this 
country. 
6. General Species and Iconography of Recent Shells, compri- 
sing the Massena Museum, the collection of Lamarck, the collection 
of the Museum of Natural History, and the recent discoveries of 
Travellers ; by L. C. Kiener, Curator of the collections of Prince 
Massena, member of the Nat. Hist. Soc. of France, Attaché to the

lisher, we have early received a copy of this valuable translation 
of Kiener’s magnificent work. The plan is the most extensive of 
any which has yet appeared on the important subject of Conchol- 
ogy, and when completed it will fill a wide gap which has hith- 
erto existed in Conchological literature. It will be nothing less than 
an accurate and lucid description of every species in every genus, 
so far as they have fallen under the author’s observation in the ex- 
tensive collections of which he has the charge, or to which he has 
access. Hitherto we have had no translation of the description of 
species either from Lamarck or from Blainville. It is the object of 
Dr. Storer to give us the whole text of Kiener as fast as it appears,
