ALG^ EXSICCATE AMERICA BOREALIS. 
We have received the first fasciculus of this collection, edited 
by W. G. Fallow, C. L. Anderson, and E. C. Eaton, containing 
fifty good and well prepared specimens, which are hereafter enume- 
rated. It is the intention of the Editors to issue a series of 
Algas Exsiccataj which shall include the greater part of the marine 
species of the United States, as well as some of the more interest- 
ing fresh water species. In order that the rarer species may be 
represented in the series, the number of sets prepared will be 
limited to thirty, and of these only a small number will be offered 
for sale. The specimens will be arranged in fasciculi, each com- 
prising fifty species. The fasciculi will be of two different sizes, 
one similar to the Musci Cubenses of Sullivant, including the 
smaller species; the other, of the size of the common herbarium 
sheet of American botanists, including the larger Euci, Laminarife, 
&c. The specimens are placed in folded sheets and fastened in 
board covers so that they can be inserted in herbaria without 
injury to the specimens. Owing to the small number of sets 
offered for sale, and the expense involved in procuring specimens 
from remote localities, the price of the smaller fasciculi is fixed at 
800 dollars, and that of the larger at 1200 dollars. Orders may 
be addressed to W. G. Farlow, 6, Park Square, Boston.
