Abstract
THE Bulletins issued from the Royal Gardens, Kew, during 1896, are bound together with a very full index in the volume before us, the result being a valuable collection of miscellaneous botanical information. Many of the articles were referred to in our Notes when the Bulletins containing them appeared; nevertheless, attention may again be usefully directed to the articles on root diseases caused by parasitic fungi, natural sugar in tobacco, the new rubber industry in Lagos, sheep-bushes and salt-bushes, the cultivation of india-rubber in Assam, the botany of Formosa, German colonies in Tropical Africa and the Pacific, the Highland Coffee of Sierra Leone, and the flora of Tibet. The volume contains a review of the various aspects of the work of Kew since 1887, when the now familiar Kew Bulletin first made its appearance. We reprint this retrospect in another part of the present issue; and it furnishes the best of evidence of the active part which Kew plays in the development of our tropical possessions.
