Asif this kind of thing were not ridiculous enough he gives 
the following: 
'* Sanicula arctopoides H. & A.; Hook. FI. i, 258 t. 90 (1833); 
Bot. Beech. 141 and 347 (1840).” 
‘ Sanicula Menziesii H. & A.; Hook. FI. i, 258 t. 90 (1833); 
Bot. Beech. 141, 347 (1840).”’ 
As both of these species are quoted on page 258 of Flora 
Bor.-Am. from ‘Hook. et Arn. in Bot. of Beech. Voy. p. 141”’ 
for the first and page 142 for the second species, Mr. Greene 
deliberately commits himself to the theory that Hooker in Flor. 
Bor.-Am., published in 1833, was able to prophesy on what page 
of a work published seven years later a given species would 
appear. 
Rees’ Cyclopzedia is in thirty-nine volumes of text with 
several of plates. Every one of the volumes of text bears on its 
title-page the date 1819. They follow each other in the order of 
the alphabet, and are not paged. Mr. Greene appends certain 
‘dates to the species quoted. How he arrived at them he can 
best explain. The following are examples. The words in 
brackets are by the writer: : : 
Achlys triphylla Smith, Rees’ Cycl. (1812?) under Leontice 
[vol. xx].
