be obtained. Perhaps Mr. Bullock-Webster’s beautiful specimens 
of Nitella hyalina, the latest addition to our Chara-flora, are the 
most noteworthy feature of the present fasciculus 
We note that Mr. Hemsley, in his aa disappointing 
notice in Nature (for Oct. 4) of the Jilustrations to the Botany @ 
Cook’s Voyage, refers to the printing of * Endeavour's ” rather than 
‘«¢ Bndeavour” River as a ‘ palpable error.’”” The names of places 
are printed as Banks and Solander wrote them; and ‘‘ Endeavour’s 
River” is the form they employ in the herbarium, the MSS., and 
the drawings. Sir Joseph Hooker, indeed, in om edition of Banks's 
ournal, uses ‘‘ Endeavour River ”’ but in o doing he rn:

speaks of naming it Endeavour River, but in the reproduction of 
Cook’s ‘original rie ” which accompanies the Journal, it appears

but it seems hardly fair to single out as a ‘“‘ palpable error’ a name 
which was employed, though not exclusively, by Cook, and uniformly

pri ‘to enter taté the causes of the cessation.” The ats
