The Botany of the Antarctic Voyage. By Joseph Dalton 
Hooker, M.D., R.N., F.L.S. 
That portion of Dr. Hooker’s Flora Antarctica devoted to 
Lord Auckland’s Group and Campbell’s Island (the former in 
latitude 50J° S. and longitude 166° E., and the latter in latitude 
52 J° and longitude 169° E.) has now been completed and reached 
this colony. A work so highly and deservedly praised in Europe 
requires no commendation from us. The botany of these islands, 
however, is necessarily so intimately connected with that of Aus¬ 
tralia generally, and more especially with Tasmania, which may 
be considered as the southern point of New Holland, that we 
think no Australian botanist ought to be without the present 
work. The plates are admirably executed, the subjects well 
selected, and no less than 150 plants figured. The work is 
accompanied by a chart of the South Circumpolar Regions, and 
introduced by a summary of the voyage and account of the botany 
of the islands. A more complete work upon the subject could 
not be furnished, and we shall hail with much pleasure the other 
works on the botany of the southern lands by the same author as 
they appear. The second part of the Flora Antarctica, to contain 
the plants of Fuegia, the Falkland Islands, and Kerguelen’s Land, 
is publishing regularly (one part per month.) two parts having 
already reached us. We can only say that they quite equal those 
that have preceded them, and no greater praise can be offered. 
Perhaps the best way of bringing the interest of the work before 
our readers will be to furnish a tabular view of the Flora of these 
little-known islands, which we subjoin. Of the Flowering Plants 
and the Ferns all are represented in Tasmania except those marked 
with an asterisk.
