of Laurence Theodore Gronov, lately pm-chased for the British Museum, 
with a collection of dry fish which it describes. A box of dry skins of fish, 
arranged between sheets of cartridge paper, like a collection of dry plants, 
said to be accompanied with a MS. description, was offered for sale in a 
collection of objects of vertu , in Bond-street; at the time of sale, and while 
on view, the MS. could not be found. Dr. Gray, however, thought that, 
even independently of the MS., the collection would be an advantageous 
purchase. The MS. was subsequently found, and, on examination, it 
proved to be a collection, generic and specific, with descriptions, made by 
L. T. Gronov, better known by his Latinized name Gronovius. In a 
scientific point of view, such a collection is most important, and we 
are glad, therefore, to see that it has passed into the hands of the British 
Museum. (Jordon, T. C.) Catalogue of Species of Plants found in Southern
