No part of Britain appears to have been more scoured over by botanists, than have the coasts of the Firth of Forth, in the vicinity of the city of Edinburgh. Greville's Flora Edinensis describes most of the species found within ten or a dozen miles of Edinburgh, but Woodford's Catalogue, being of rather later date, has a few additions to the species and localities; and it is, on such account, referred to instead of the proper Flora of the tract. Several new additions, however, have been recently made to the botanical productions of this, as well as of other, parts of Scotland, either by the present Prossessor of the Science in the University of Edinburgh, or by his pupils. The Botanical Society of Edinburgh has lately published a Catalogue of all the reputedly British phænogamic plants and ferns, distinguishing such as are found within thirty miles of the city, and noting their rarity or frequency in its vicinity. Since this Catalogue must embrace several counties, and the plants of each not being distinguished, I am unable to make any reference to it here; but the cost of the Catalogue itself is so very trifling that any person can procure it who may feel an interest in knowing what plants have been found in this part of Britain. It gives, at the same time, the most complete list yet published of all the species said to have been found in the British Islands. AUTHORITY. Edin.
