ALGJE DANMONIENSES, 
By a slip of the pen we announced the 
last volume of Mrs. Wyatt's Alge Dan- 
monienses as the third instead of the fourth. 
This, the fourth volume, completes this 
beautiful work : and, including as it does 
two hundred species, we cannot but con- 
gratulate the meritorious Collector on the 
great success that has attended her re- 
searches, confined as they have been al- 
most entirely to one circumscribed spot on 
the British coast. For in no other portion 
assuredly, of such limited extent, do we 
believe it possible that so great a number 
of rare species could be obtained as have 
rewarded the exertions of Mrs. Wyatt in 
Torbay. 
Vol. IV. contains the following species: 
—152. Fucus vesiculosus. 158. F. cera- 
noides. 154. F. nodosus. 155. Lichina
