islands, but more aE those actively engaged in botanical work involving _ 
historical research, will weleome a reprint of the ‘ Biographical Index,’ which ran 
through four volumes of ie Journal, beginning in 1888. . . . And this little book 
is, after all, the foundation, and a good substantial one, too, of the history of 
British and Irish botanists, which may some day develop into as complete 
exhaustive a work as Colmeiro’s admirable La Botanica y los Botdnicos de la 
Peninsula Hispano-Lusitana. No other nation, I believe, possesses such a work as 
the and no second nation, so far as I am nee = such a work as - : 
former.” —W. Botting Hemsley in Journ. Bot., Sept. 1 me
