AKTICLES IN JOURNALS. 287
We have received two singularly useless little books which
form part of "Darlingtou's Naturalist Series," and are issued by a
publisher of that name at Llangollen. The first is entitled ' Wild
Flowers of the Vale of Llangollen, Corwen, and Bala'; the second,
' Wild Flowers of Aberystwith and Cardigan Bay ; and there are
'
others of the same kind. No author's name is given, so that we can
hurt no one's feelings by characterizing the books as rubbish.
They are full of blunders, and give no information of value
moreover, no Grasses or Sedges are included. Matthiohi "vmcana"
appears in each ; the latter contains Saxifraga Hirculus, S. umhrosa,
Trifolium stellatum, T. glomeratum, Astragalus hijpoglottis, Daphne
Mezereum, Senecio paludosus; while Trifolium strictiun, Filago gallic/t,
Gladiolus communis, Leucojum (Estivum, Crocus vernus, and the like,
adorn the fields of Llangollen. The fact that such lists can find
purchasers (if they do so) causes melancholy reflections.
