Three publications in the Atlas of United States Trees series have been received by the Editor: Vol. 2-Alaska Trees and Common Shrubs, by Leslie A. Viereck and El bert L. Little, Jr.; Vol. 3-Minor Western Hardwoods, by Little; and Trees and Shrubs of The U.S., a bibliography for Identification, by Elbert L. Little, Jr., and Barbara H. Honkala. The first two are basically range maps, with some environmental-ecological materials thrown in. All are done in the usual USDA fashion, i.e., large maps, good reference lists. Helpful to the practicing dendrologist.
