counts of all the exhibits and is freely illustrated. It is pub- 
lished at 10s, i)lus postage 4d, obtainable from Mr. J. H. Burnett, De- 
partment of Botany, The University, Oxford. As stated in the notice 
already circulated, members had the opportunity of subscribing, before 
June 1st, 1951, for a copy at the reduced price of 5s. Thanks are due 
to Mr. W. R. Price, the Honorary Assistant Secretary, for dealing with 
these applications from members.

Plants, and the circumstances of its issue are so similar to those under
