 National Herbaria during the past month, M. Alph. DeCandolle

 Brussels, and the Rev. L. Menyharth, S.J., of Buda-Pesth, have also 

 been working in London ; the former at the Melastomace®, which he 

 is elaborating for the ' Flora Brasiliensis ' ; the latter at a critical 

 revision of the genus Melilutus. 



The death is announced of Dr. W. Imray, of Dominica, which

 years Dr. Imray has worked at the flora of the island in which he 

 lived, of which indeed our knowledge has mainly been gathered 

 from his observations ; his name is commemorated in Yaccinium 

 Imrayi and many other species.

 Stansfield, of Todmorden, Yorkshire, on August 22nd, at the

 barium here has just been enriched with a large and critically- 

 named series of Plymouth Rubi, presented by Mr. T. B. Archer 

 Briggs, and carefully selected by him to represent the form 

 described in his « Flora of Plymouth.'
