4. The London Journal of Botany ; edited by Sir Wm. Hooker. 

 This is the title of a new monthly periodical, commencing in January 

 last, which takes the place of Hooker^s Journal of Botany^ and is in 

 fact, a continuation of that excellent work, in the hands of a new pub- 

 lisher, Bailliere, who we understand, will continue the publication of 

 this author's Icones Plantarum. We have more than once called the 

 attention of our botanical readers to both these works. This indefatiga- 

 ble botanist has also announced, as nearly ready for publication, the 

 first part of a new treatise upon a favorite family of plants, viz. a Spe- 

 cies Filicum, or synopsis of all the known species of Ferns, with generic 

 and specific descriptions of each, and plates containing several figures 

 upon each plate. Only the rarest and most interesting species are to be 

 figured, particularly such as have not yet been represented in any 

 published work. 



We may also state, that Prof, Kunze of Leipsic, is publishing, in 

 occasional numbers, a supplement to Schkuhr's work upon Ferns, (the 

 first volume of his Vier itnd zanzigste Klasse des Linrieeischen Pfian- 

 zensy stems., oder Kryptogamische Gewdchse.) Of Prof. Kunze's con- 

 tinuation, entitled Die Farrnkrduter in koloriten Ahhildungen natur- 

 getsen erlautert und heschrieien, four fasciculi have reached us, each 

 containing twenty pages of text, (4to,) and ten finely colored plates. 



5. Kunze., Siipplemente der Riedgrdser ( Carices) zu Chr. Schkuhr^s 

 Monographie, Sfc. — We have already noticed the first fasciculus of this 

 work, (Vol. XLi, p. 374.) In the second, which has just arrived, the 

 following species are handsomely figured, viz. C. appressa, C. echi- 

 nochloe, C. Antucensis, C. lepidocarpa, C. fuliginosa, C. vaginata, C. 

 pediformis, C. clavata, C. provincialis, C. excelsa, and C. curvirostris. 

 C. fuliginosa is the only one of this number, known to be indigenous to 

 North America, although C. pediformis has been found in Kamt- 

 schkatka. 



6. Memoir on a portion of the loiver Jaio of the Iguanodon and of 

 the remains of the Hylczosaurus and other Saurians, discovered in the 

 Strata of Tilgate Forest in Sussex, (England,) by Gideon Algernon 

 Mantell, Esq. L.L.D. F.R.S., author of the Wonders of Geology, &c. 

 Fossil Remains of Turtles discovered in the Chalk formation of the 

 Southeast of England, by the same author. — These beautiful memoirs 

 are a part of the Transactions of the Royal Society of London ; they 

 are illustrated by eight quarto plates, and contain full and exact descrip- 

 tions of the objects to which they relate. They are marked by all that 

 precision, discrimination and accuracy for which the author is distin- 

 guished, combining minute details of comparative anatomy, with just and
