7 JULY 1917, Page 24

Tho Director of the Royal Botanic Gardena, Kew, undeterred by

the war, published as usual his Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information for 1916 (4s. 6d.). On one page we are told of a teak-tree in Trinidad, which, when cut at the age of two years and three months, measured thirty-two foot high and two foot in girth. On another page is a learned account of the varieties of Brazil-wood and logwood. The discontinuance of the Bulletin is much to be regretted.
