84 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 
upwards of fifty new species have been ee to the flora of 
Hampshire. The new edition—somewhat dear, perhaps—is in 
appearance a ie i “issn on its predeeesor, the larger 
of the work, dqpeccally that of the Rev. E. 8. Marshall, 
paring for the press and in looking over proofs.” We may sand 
say that this latter undertaking has been somewhat imperfectly ful- 
filled: on looking through the book our eye is continually arrested 
by aig initials, not only of pérsons, but of plants— thus under

“rath.” takes almost as much room as ‘“ rather,” and nothing i is 
gained by substituting ‘‘ Guid.” for “Guide.” Some misprints are

The work as a whole was so fully Se on its first appearance 
and the Flora itself is so familiar to British botanists, that there i is 
no need to give any account of its method. In many respects it is 
of the first ita the numerous critical notes, for example, have 
direct reference to the plants of the county; the casuals and — 
doubtful renneds are pistes at the end of each order—this plan is ~~ 
not always convenient, as it often separates members of the same 
genus—and are thus differentiated from the Flora proper, while only 
such of the former as present some features of permanence find a
