EMENDATIONS OF THE SEVENTH EDITION OF GRAY’S 
MANUAL,— I.! 
B. L. Rosinson AND M. L. FERNALD. 
Ir is more than six months since the new edition of Gray's Manual 
was issued and a considerably longer time since the earlier portions 
of the work were cast. During this interval many annotations have 
been entered in the copies of the Manual used at the Gray Herbarium. 
Part of these notes correct errors — most of them happily of minor 
importance — which have been detected by members of the herbarium 
staff or reported by friends and correspondents. Others are of the 
nature of additions, extension of ranges, etc., being in most instances 
the result of information received since the issue of the Manual. In 
response to requests from several sources that such emendations as 
are collected at the Gray Herbarium should be brought together and 
from time to time published for general use, the present article has 
been compiled as the first of a possible series. 
Supplements and addenda to works on systematie botany are in 
general inconvenient, both because they are likely to be overlooked 
and because such species, varieties, and notes as they contain rarely 
stand in any clear relation to the subject matter in the body of the work. 
For this reason it seems best to make all additions and changes in the 
well known form of errata from which those who desire can readily 
annotate their copies of the Manual and thus do much toward bringing 
them to date. If this course is followed the emendations will be 
found at the place and time they are needed. 
1 A limited number of reprints of this article, upon paper of the size of Gray's Manual 
(larger form), can be supplied by the management of Кнорока (Room 1052, Exchange 
Bldg., Boston, Mass.), postpaid, at 10 cents each.
