October ; the " History of Pre-Clusian Botany in its Relation to- 

 Aster," by Dr. Edward Sandford Burgess, constituting Vol. 10 

 of the Memoirs, was published in November ; and the " Flora 

 of New Providence and Andros (Bahama Islands)" by Mrs. 

 Alice R. Northrop, forming No. I of Vol. 1 2 of this series, was 

 issued December 10. 



Messrs. Charles Humphrey Bissell and Luman Andrews have 

 recently published a " Flora of the Town of Southington and 

 its Vicinity: A List of the Fern and Seed Plants growing with- 

 out Cultivation." In an area of approximately thirty-six square 

 miles 1,201 species are listed. An interesting comparison is 

 made, by families, with the 1,563 species reported in the Flora 

 of Vermont published in 1900. 



The death of Dr. Timothy Field Allen occurred at his home 

 in New York on December 5, after an illness of many months. 

 He was born in Westminster, Vt, April 24, 1837. Dr. Allen 

 was not only distinguished in his profession as a physician and 

 surgeon, but was also for many years the leading American stu- 

 dent of the Characeae. An account of his collections of Chara- 

 ceae, which he presented to the New York Botanical Garden 

 about two years ago, was published in the Journal of the Garden 

 for April, 1901. Dr. Allen was a charter member of the Torrey 

 Botanical Club and had been for many years its senior Vice-Presi- 

 dent. It is expected that a more extended notice of his life and 

 work will appear in an early number of the Bulletin of the Club.
