-Et Bigrag til Trseernes Architectonik. 8vo. pp. 29. The prin¬ 
cipal architectonic types recognisable in trees are the columnar — 
as in Arborescent Monocotyledons ; the conical , pyramidal , or 
tapering , in Coniferae; the sub umbellate, the poplar, &c.; the 
Jcnotty-sinuous, the oak, &c. and the arched type, as in the beech.

Oliver, D.—Note on the Structure of the Anther. Linn. Trans, 
xxiii. p. 423, (with 1 plate). Confirming and extending the views 
of Bischoff, that the sutures of the anther do not correspond to 
the margins of the stamen-leaf. It is advanced that the sutures 
“ answer to the lines of junction of outer and inner thickened 
portions of the lamina on either side of the midrib.” Mr. Oliver’s 
arguments are chiefly based upon an abnormal condition of the 
stamens in a species of Geranium. 
-Note on Hamamelis and Loropetalum ; with a Description of a 
new Anisophyllea from Malacca. Ibid, p.457. Pavouring the generic 
separation of Loropetalum from Hamamelis. A Synopsis of the 
uni-ovulate genera of Hamamelideae is given. Anisophyllea is 
considered to be nearer to Ehizophoraceae, to which Mr. Bentham 
referred it, than Hamamelideae or Barringtonieae, amongst which 
it has been located by some botanists.

Oudemans, C. A. J. A.—Memoire pour servir de reponse a la 
question: si les stomates derivent de cellules epidermiques ou 
bien de cellules parenchymatiques sous-jacentes ? Amsterd.Versl. 
K. Ak. 1862, xiv. p. 318 (with a plate). The stomates are modi¬ 
fied epidermal cells ; they are not derived from the subepidermal 
layer. The mother-cells of the stomates, when they first become 
perceptible, are always in the plane of the epidermis, their upper 
wall not being depressed below that level. With regard to the 
cavity beneath the stomate, in Agave and Aloe , M. Oudemans 
finds that it does not originate prior to the division of the nucleus 
of the superimposed mother-cell.
