No. 407.] REVIEWS OF RECENT LITERATURE. 907 
Notes. — Several handbooks of photographic illustrations of the 
famous Kew Gardens have been placed on the market and form 
attractive souvenirs of a visit to the charming suburb of London, in 
which the gardens are situated. The latest of these (E. J. Wallis, 
Illustrations of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, from photographs 
taken by permission, London, 1900), with half-tone plates 514 X 
614 in. is prefaced by a laconic note by the Director, Sir W. T. 
Thiselton-Dyer, who has also written a few words of description of 
each of the pictures. 
Professor Boppe, director of the forestry school of Nancy, with 
the aid of his associate, M. Jolyet, has brought together in book 
form the substance of his course of lectures in that institution, illus- 
trating it by a number of instructive, if not always well-done, views, 
indicating landscapes, plantations, and methods (L. Boppe and A. 
Jolyet, Les Forêts; Traité pratique de sylviculture, 8vo, pp. xi + 488, 
ff. 95, Paris, Baillitre, 1901). 
Professor Saunders’s extensive experimental tests of woody plants 
in the British territory to our north are further evidenced by a cata- 
logue of fruit trees under test at Agassiz, British Columbia, pub- 
lished as Bulletin No. 3, second series, of the Central Experimental 
Farm at Ottawa, in which 1217 varieties of apples, 36 of crabs, 557 
of pears, 311 of plums, 154 of cherries, 213 of peaches, 53 of 
apricots, 25 of nectarines, 12 of quinces, 7 of medlars, and 6 of 
mulberries are included. The recommended varieties are: apples 
20, pears ro, plums ro, cherries 11, and peaches 5. 
Rev. Arthur C. Waghorne, who, while engaged as a pastor in New- 
foundland, has made extensive collections representing the flora of 
that island during the past decade, died recently in Jamaica, where 
he went early in the season in the hope of recovering from disease 
incurred in the performance of his trying duties, which not infre- 
quently involved great hardship and exposure.
