PHYCOLOGIA BRITANNICA; or History of the British Sea- \ 
Weeds ; containing coloured figures, generic and specific cha- j 
racters, synonymes, and descriptions, of all the species of \ 
Algae inhabiting the shores of the British Islands. By William | 
Henry Harvey, M.D., M.R.I.A., Keeper of the Herbarium $ 
of the University of Dublin, and Professor of Botany to the J 
Dublin Society. 
“ We hail with extreme pleasure an illustrated ‘ History of British Sea-Weeds \ 
and above all, on account of the accuracy which it ensures, one in which every 
species will be drawn, lithographed, and described by the same hand ; the 
importance of which combination in one individual is w r ell known to naturalists 
of any experience, the species being generally described by one party, drawn by a 
second, and lithographed by a third. So favourably is Dr. Harvey known to the 
botanical world as an Algologist, that to speak of his excellent treatment of the 
subject in all its bearings seems superfluous. The * History of British Sea-Weeds ’ 
we can most faithfully recommend for its scientific, its pictorial, and its popular 
value ; the professed botanist will find it a work of the highest character, whilst 
those who desire merely to know the names and history of the lovely plants which 
they gather on the sea-shore, will find in it, when complete, the faithful portraiture 
of every one of them .” — Annals and Magazine of Natural History . 
Published monthly, in parts, price 2s. 6 d., coloured ; large

NEREIS AUSTRALIS ; or, Hlustrations of the Algse of the 
Southern Ocean, being Figures, Descriptions, and Remarks 
upon new or imperfectly known Sea-Weeds, collected on the 
shores of the Cape of Good Hope, the extra-tropical Australian 
Colonies, Tasmania, New Zealand, and the Antarctic Regions, 
and deposited in the Herbarium of the Dublin University. 
By William Henry Harvey, M.D., M.R.I.A., Keeper of the 
Herbarium, and Professor of Botany to the Dublin Society. 
“ Of this most important contribution to our knowledge of exotic Algse, we 
know not if we can pay it a higher compliment than by saying it is worthy of the 
author. It should be observed that the work is not a selection of certain species, 
but an arranged system of all that is known of Australian Algse, accompanied by 
figures of the new and rare ones, especially of those most remarkable for beauty 
of form and colour .” — London Journal of Botany.
