Judge Latourneax, of the new Courts in Alexandria, an 
able botanist from Algeria, has this year I believe taken to 
Paris a very complete list of the Kamleh plants. 
Meanwhile Dr. Oscar Schneider has published an inte- 
resting though incomplete list in the Isis,’'*Dresden Heft 111, 
1871. The authority on the subject to-day is however 
Boissier’s Flora Orientalis, the first volume, printed in 1867, 
hardly does justice to the Egyptian Flora, but the sub- 
sequent volumes leave nothing to be desired and are above 
my feeble praise. It is a magnificent work, worthy of any 
age or country, and will rank with Decandolle’s Prodromus, 
though only local in application instead of cosmopolitan as 
that work is. 
[The List of Plants will probably appear in the Society’s 
Memoirs.]
