ARTIOLES IN JOURNALS. 59 
We have been vainly endeavouring to find space for an 
adequate notice of the indefatigable Baron von Mueller’s important 
contribution to botanical literature, entitled ‘ Systematic Census 
of Australian Plants, with Chespulogi: arrt es and Geographical 
Annotations.’ This. is compressed in 2 quarto pages, each 
specics occupying only a line, in w ich. is a name, authority, 
place and date of sth Glden, distribution in Au stralite 2 
references to Bentham’s ‘Flora Australiensis,’ and Muelle 
Fragme ra is. gi 
tee, a.’ The history of the genera is. given in a si staat 
concise and complete manner. The result, as might be expected, 
is to bring into prominence several generic names which had fallen 
e sev 
into disuse, and the restoration of which—as for example Candollea 
for Stylidiwm——may cause some temporary inconvenience, although 
we agree with the Baron that ‘the impartial rules of strict 
priority’ are the only safe ones. From the same author we have

Hydrocharis are described as yellow. The volume is beautifully 
printed and fully iliatanted, the figures being very unequal in 
merit.
