BOOK-NOTES, NEWS, dc. 

 The first part of an important new publication, to be called The 



British Museum Phycological Memoirs, will shortly be issued by 



Messrs. Dulau and Co. It will contain memoirs on a new order of 

 Algae by Miss Mitchell and Miss Frances Whitting ; on a fossil Alga 

 from the Secondary Rocks, and on the structure of Dictyosphaeria, 

 by Mr. Murray ; on some malformations of Algae caused by animals, 

 by Miss Barton ; and on a new genus of perforating Algae, by Mr. 

 Batters: and will be illustrated by eight plates. It is intended to 

 issue parts at about half-yearly intervals. A school of Phycology 

 has arisen in the British Museum at Cromwell Road, and this 

 publication is designed mainly as a record of the fruits of its 

 research. If we may jndge by the contents of the first part, there 

 will be no lack of interest in the papers. The Memoirs will be 

 edited by Mr. George Murray.
