BOOK-NOTES, NEWS, rfc. 



We have received from our correspondent Mr. Tokutaro Ito 

 " A Memorial Work, chiefly on Botany and Zoology, in commemo- 

 ration of the ninetieth anniversary of Keisuke Ito," his grandfather. 

 There are two volumes, the first containing various papers by 

 Tokutaro Ito, the second a "Descriptive Catalogue of various 

 Exhibitions relating to Botany," &c. The work is prefaced by a 

 portrait and notice of Keisuke Ito, which latter we are unable to 

 appreciate, owing to our ignorance of Japanese ; but our readers will 

 remember that a portrait of the same botanist accompanied an 

 interesting paper "On the History of Botany in Japan," which Mr. 

 Tokutaro Ito published in this Journal for August, 1887. 



Although the Biographical Index of British and Irish Botanists 

 has been very favourably noticed, and we have received numerous 

 and gratifying assurances of its usefulness from those best qualified 

 to express an opinion, its sale has been much smaller than had been 

 anticipated, and the authors are likely to lose considerably by their 

 undertaking. We shall therefore be grateful if those who can do so 

 will recommend the book to their botanical friends,
