MUSCOLOGIA GALLICA, Part 9. 
M. Husnot has just issued the 9th part of his Muscologia 
Gallica, ending with page 284, and 79 plates ; it also includes 10 
plates in substitution for the first 10 plates of the work, and an 
analytical key to the genera. We have already called attention to 
this work, which is proceeding contemporaneously with the British 
one, by Dr. Braithwaite, and we fear that we must add equally 
sluggishly. It has occupied six years to produce the nine parts 
already published, and although it was contemplated to complete it 
in 14 similar parts, it is somewhat doubtful if it can be contained 
within that number, or finished, at the present rate of progress, 
within another three years. It must be expected that the patience 
of subscribers will get exhausted when they have to wait for ten 
years, or more, to see the end of a work which they are most anxious 
should be completed, and turned to a practical use. Surely 
Bryologists must be exceptionally unfortunate. Let us hope that 
no unforeseen event will transpire to leave either of these valuable 
works as only a splendid fragment.
