ALL ag botanists will congratulate Dr. von Haldcsy in 
September last. The three volumes together extend to 1982 pages, 
including a separate index to each volume. It would have been 
convenient, perhaps, to have added a generic index to the whole 
k : 
synonymy, and distribution are also much fuller, and the critical 
citations more exact, than in the Flora Orientalis. In other respects 
the new Greek Flora seems modelled on the classical Prodromus 
Flore Hispanice of Willkomm and Lange. In the preface, inserted 
at the beginning of the last section, the author ter ee explains the 
f 
scope of his work, in a “ forma Latini sermonis”’ no nike that of 
Willkomm’s own oe side preface, and ‘creda wr sitbabed in the 
most academical Lati r. von Haliesy apologizes for utilizing in 
his Flora the Osiidolieses arrangement of classification, not because 
it is phylogenetically sound, but on the plea of convenience, for the 
inary mi maps in out the area 
seatinn also saute names (often of doubtful application) to 
modern Turkish and Greek districts and localities. The present 
author, in order to ensure uniformity in the correct citation of 
localities, accepts he authority of the local charts issued by the 
Vienna Institute of Military Geography, compiled in 1885. 
Besides Greece and the Greek islands, the limits of the Flora 
include the province of Epirus and the island of Crete, stated in the 
introduction to be “‘ under Turkish dominion ”’—though in the latter 
case it is peat ani correct, as Ottoman hegemony is no longer in the 
ascendant. The limits defined also apparently include the Thes- 
salian eparchies ceded to Turkey after the contig of 1897, previously 
comprised in the nomes of Trikkala and Lari 
The references quoted for ordinal, tribal, aaa sectional names 
are carefully and exactly cited—in every case that has been tested
