174 Bibliography. 



6. Endliclier'' 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, 13tb, 14th and 15th numbers. The latter, pub- 

 lished ill June last, reaches to the 1200th page. It contains a part of 

 his class CalyciflorcB, and breaks off in the middle of his 267th order, 

 Lythrarietz. Two, or perhaps three, additional numbers, will appa- 

 rently bring the work to a conclusion, as the Rosacese and the Legu- 

 minosse are the chief remaining orders. 



7. Enumeratio Chenopodearum. — Mr. Moquin-Tandon, of Tou- 

 louse, who has long made the Chenopodiaceae 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 is a small 

 octavo volume, published at Paris. 



8. StendeVs 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 Carico- 

 graphy, in which he intends to give figures of all the species vi'hich 

 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 Botany, for 

 June, 1840, contains a paper " On a white fossil powder found under 

 a hog in Lincolnshire, composed of the silicious fragments of micro- 

 scopical parasitical Confervm ; by J. E. Bowman, Esq., F. L. S." — 

 He gives a history of their discovery by Prof. Ehrenberg, and a no- 

 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 dry, and as
