ARTICLES IN JOURNALS. 237 name stands first on the list, is described as *'Nomenclator of Bury Botanical Association," and as this information is supplied by him- self, it is no doubt accurate, although we cannot even guess what are the duties of the post. They seem to be onerous, for there is also a " Vice-Nomenclator," and the Association is also represented on the list by its " Senior Steward," whose name as printed — "Haslam" — suggests that he is a member of the peerage; by its Secretary and Librarian, and other officers. There are two "gentle- men" on the list, one ** meat purveyor," one *' bishop-assistant," one life member of the British Association," one *' pawnbrocker," and one " county analist." As we remarked some time since, when reviewing another book of this kind, it is to be regretted that the compiler does not submit his proofs to some representative of each country for correction — failing any one better, we would gladly look them through for England. By so doing, he would avoid many of the misprints which are otherwise inevitable. Herr Dorfler has, on the whole, succeeded very well with his English names, but " Lirencester," " the Growe," " Triniti," and the like would at once have caught the eye of an English proof-reader, who would also have corrected the statement that Sir Joseph Hooker is " Director of the Eoyal Botanic Gardens." But the book is a most useful compilation, and, indeed, is indispensable to those botanists who have an extensive correspondence. ARTICLES IN JOURNALS. Annals of Botany (March). — J. E.
