CRYPTOGAMIC FLORA OF SILESIA.* 
The first volume of this work, just received, is well printed, and 
on good paper, which is not always the case with Continental books ; 
but, of still greater importance, it appears under auspices which 
warrant excellence. The general editor is Professor Ferdinand 
Cohn, and the volume before us contains the Higher Cryptogamia, 
by Dr. K. Gustav Stenzel ; Mosses and Hepaticse, by K. Gustav 
Limpricht ; and Characea?, by Professor Dr. Alex. Braun. The 
second volume is promised to contain the Algae, by Dr. Oscar 
Kirschner and Dr. Bleisch, and Lichens by Professor Koerber. 
The thiid volume will contain the Fungi by Dr. Schroeter. This 
certainly is a programme which commends itself, and if executed as 
carelully throughout, it will be a most complete and satisfactory 
Cryptogamic Flora of an important province of Germany, which 
will, moreover, be unique, for. Dr. Rabenhorst’s Saxon Flora has 
never been completed. Cryptogamic Floras of countries or 
provinces in Europe are desirable, but laborious undertakings, and 
the Mycologia Fennica, which of course only contains the Fungi, 
proceed slowly. The present work deserves encouragement, and 
we trust that it will receive sufficient to ensure its completion, as it 
will be a valuable addition to the Cryptogamic Literature of the 
day. We can recommend it with confidence to our readers, on the 
faith of this first volume.
