LINNEAN SOCIETY OE LONDON. Ixix 



quently given abroad to publishing scientific Societies and Jour- 

 nals, commenced a new series, combining the two under the title 

 of Revue et Magasin de Zoologie pure et appliquee. This work 

 is now in the seventeenth j^early volume of the series, or twenty- 

 eighth of the whole work. 



The Journal de Oonchyliologie, in octavo, with plates, exclusively 

 devoted to Mollusca, and chiefly to their shells, was established in 

 1850 under the direction of Petit de la Saussaie. Four volumes 

 formed a first series to 1853. In 1856 a second series was com- 

 menced under the direction of Fischer and Bernardi, and carried 

 on to a fourth volume, dated 1860, since which there are two com- 

 plete volumes of a third series, conducted by Crosse, Fischer, and 

 Bernardi. 



For Botany alone Desvaux had established a Journal de Bo- 

 tanique, in octavo, in 1808, which was carried on till 1814, in parts, 

 forming five volumes. There are in it a few of Desvaux's own 

 descriptive papers, but generally very little that we have now 

 occasion to refer to. 



Guillemin again in 1833 started a monthly Journal of Botany, 

 in octavo, entitled Archives de Botanique ; but although it was 

 supported by several of the principal French botanists, who con- 

 tributed original papers, it only lasted a single year, forming two 

 volumes, with a few plates. 



Duchartre's Bevue Botanique, in monthlyparts, octavo, forming 

 two volumes for 1846 and 1847, although professedly devoted to 

 reviews and bibliographical notices, contains also a few short ori- 

 ginal papers by J. Gray and others. 



The Eevue Horticole, appearing also in numbers, forming 

 annual volumes, at first small octavo, and now large octavo, has 

 had twenty-one volumes in four series, and is now in the fifth of 

 tlie fifth series ; but the volumes are no longer numbered, but only 

 designated by the year of publication. Although chiefly devoted 

 to horticulture, it contains some botanical papers by Decaisne and 

 others, which we have occasionally to refer to. 



The Bulletin de la Societe Linneenne du JSTord de la France, 

 at AsBEViiiLE, one volume, octavo, 1840, with a few plates, con- 

 tains papers on local Malacology and Entomology, and has not 

 since been continued. 



The Annales de la Societe Linneenne du Departement de Maine 

 et Loire, at Angees, extends to four thin volumes, large octavo, 

 1854 to 1861, with plates, very well got up as to typography. It 

 contains many papers on the local fauna and flora, especially birds,
