JAMES BRITTEN, K.S. L.8.

Tae Journat or Botany was aauiiiels in 1868 by Dr. Seemann. 
In 1872 the editorship as assumed by Dr. Henry Trimen, who, 
assisted ase | part of the time by Mr. J. G. Baker and Mr. Spencer 
Moore, ¢ ried it on until a tna of ‘1879, when he left England for 
Ceylon. Binse then it has been in the hands of the present Editor. 
Without professing to occupy the vast field of general Botany, the 
Journal has from its inception filled a position which, even now, is 
for the publication of new discoveries, and appears regularly and 
punctually on the Ist of each month. While more especially concerned 
with systematic botany, observations of every kind are welco med, 
Especial prominence has irom the first been given to British botany, 
and it may safely be said that nothing of primary importance bearing 
upon ai subject has remained unn 
iographical matters have also received and continue to receive 
considerable attention, and the history of many obscure publications 
een elucidated. Every number contains reviews of new 
important books written by competent critics: in this as in every other 
_ Fespect @ strictly independent attitude has been maintained. While in
