It is a leasare to note so few things worthy of criticism, and these 
of little real Importance. On page 91 the key indicates Borons tins and 
a olyto iegum as having nitrate caly.ptrae, an error which has ap peared 
in certain other bryolo l publications during the last generation* 
After being favorably Impressed withte the abundance of keys to per ora 
and species it seems rather odd to suddenly realise that there is no 
key to the orders and families* racagw&ia e&. However, this is of less 
import-nice when one remembers that 28 of the 35 families belong to 
the fryales, and feat t is order has a general key to all genera, 
irrespective of their grouping under the families. 
Aside from Hypnacea e and Pe ndroidacc ao f e a mangeier, t of few-;lies 
and genera follows the Engler and 'rantl system rather closely except 
that . eberecea e . B uocbauiaiacca e , d eorgiaeea e , -wvl "ol ytrichaceao are 
faced at the end of the volume, as in harnstorf 1 a r aubnoonG. Several 
of the Engle r and ‘rantl generic names, o.g. Aglow': a , ," accog;~o a, 
elli a. Xantia, Et ophanina , fellincinia, are respectivelj n Laced, 
in the 0onnccticut flora by the generally het-^r known rar.oe of 
J ungerv-.annl a, G eo calyx . C euh.n l ors ia , Calypogoia , I. adnla . and 'ore 11a. 
In this connection we are glad to note 
have their original spelling, and that 
ip her ol- ’ ns are raised to generic rook 
that Hacor.itr 1 urn and "‘locirin 
Octoci com .s , hicciclla, and 
fills valuable bulletin should bo io the ""arcs of all bryologists 
as well an others who arc interested in a node! flora of this type, 
and there is ’fee excuse for its not being there when the A h 1 Lho rian 
at Hartford advertises it for the absurdly small so : of thirty cents.
