The Flora of Warwickshire. By James E. Bagnall. (Gurney and

Jackson.)—This elaborate work, the result of not loss than a q uarter of a Century's diligence and careful observation, is of too technical a kind to be noticed in detail in those columns. We can but recommend it to all interested in the subject. Warwick- shire, as has been pointed out in reference to this matter, is a typical English county, so remote from the sea that it has not been invaded by the foreign species that have made their way into so many localities. The total at which Mr. Bagnall arrives is upwards of nine hundred for flowering plants and ferns ; the fungi, mosses, &c., have to be added.
