A work in folio on the Forest Flora of New South Wales is in pre- 
paration, and will soon be issued by the Forest Department of that 
province. It will be published in quarterly parts, each containing 
five plates, with their corresponding letter-press of descriptive matter. 
The illustrations will be in color, and show natural sized flowering 
branchlets of each species, together with their fruits, barks, ete. 
Judging from the title page, the work will be an exceedingly beautiful 
addition to a library.
