THE LINDSAY COLLECTION OF LICHENS. 
Dr. Lauder Lindsay, of Perth, has lately offered his Herbarium 
of Lichens, Manuscripts, Drawings, and Books to the Botanic 
Gardens at Edinburgh, on condition that a small room was pro- 
vided for their reception. Unfortunately there is so great a lack 
of accommodation so urgently needed for class work and for other 
purposes, that there is no probability of the offer being accepted. 
This is much to be regretted, and we would fain hope that aUen- 
tion being now drawn to the necessities of the Gardens, some 
steps may be taken to remedy a portion of the deficiencies under 
which Professor Balfour has been compelled to labour. The 
Edinburgh Gardens are just the place where Dr. Lindsay’s Collec- 
tion should have been located, and the Scotch Botanists especially 
will regret that circumstances prevented Dr. Lindsay’s kind ofter 
being accepted. 
GREVILLEA, PAST AND FUTURE. 
The present number of Grevillea completes its fifth year, and 
enables us to direct attention to the effort which has already been 
made, at the suggestion of numerous subscribers, to publish 
coloured figures of Agarics, especially of the genus Cortinanus. 
Those which have appeared may be accepted as an earnest of even 
better work in this direction in the sixth volume. Already four 
additional plates have been prepared, and it is to be hoped that 
an accession to the number of subscribers will afford some 
encouragement to proceed. No one regrets more than we do our- 
selves that Bryologists have so little to communicate to our 
readers. If the offer of a fair field and all necessary illustrations 
fails to tempt them, we fear that we have no additional inducements 
to offer.
