contrast between the wide circulation of —* scientific publica- 
tions in this country and the restriction merely to those who actually 
need them in his own. We trust that he will not be embarrassed 
by a too restricted sale in the present instance, but we do not feel 
justified in warmly recommending his book to British botanists.

have already appeared, and this may be t ken as virtually . 
ni is particular MS. of the Hortus Uplandicus has not 
printed before, and it is interesting to com = e it with the othe 
versions, five of which are enumerated thus: 
No. 1, without date, but probably written in the early summer of 
1780; this is in the library of the Linnean Society of London. 
No. 2, with a Swedish dedication, dated 29 July, 1730, to O. Rud- 
beck the younger ; it is now at Leufsta. 
No. 8, the same date as No. 2, but with a Latin dedication to Rud- 
beck. This copy was sent by Linnzus to Professor J. J. 
Lange, in Halle, to endeavour to get it printed and ‘published 
in Germany, evidently without success; at the end of last 
century it was in the possession of Schreber, Linneus’s pupil, 
at Erlangen : it was then lost sight of, and finally was Se 
in the State library at Munich ; in 1887 it was lent to the 
University of Upsala, where oh was aegeareags and vonified as 
being in the handwriting of 
No. 4, dated 13 May, 1731, Old Style, Fibra’ s birthday; now in 
possession of Pastor Johanson

Professor Fries comments on certain points of interest, which show 
the Linneus’s i s his sexual system took shape 
introduced, and its history under the Rudbecks, down to 1787, 
us III. made a grant of it to the University. 
The last section of five pages is devoted to the official announce- 
ment of Dr. Hammar’s installation as professor.
