LIBRARY CONTRIBUTIONS. 
A SUPPLEMENTARY CATALOGUE OF THE STURTEVANT 
PRELINNEAN LIBRARY. 
BY C. E. HUTCHINGS, 
During the few years immediately succeeding the pub- 
lication of the catalogue of the Sturtevant Prelinnean 
Library,* a good many works belonging to the period 
before 1753 were discovered in the course of recataloguing 
the general library of the Missouri Botanical Garden. A 
very small number of early works were also received from 
Dr. E. L. Sturtevant, too late for inclusion in the former 
catalogue, and a few came in the usual course from 
various sources, by donation or purchase. The titles of 
these Prelinnean works were brought together, and their 
publication in a supplementary list was projected,f but 
for lack of space in the Garden Report was deferred from 
year to year. Last year a large collection of old books, 
brought together in Europe, was purchased through a 
foreign dealer, and so large a proportion of these was 
Prelinnean, and not hitherto represented in the Garden 
library, that the early publication of a catalogue exhibit- 
ing such additions, from all sources, seemed highly de- 
sirable. The present catalogue is the result. 
The older catalogue and the present one therefore set 
forth the titles of all of the Prelinnean books and pam- 
phlets at the Garden, without duplication, except that a 
very few entries are repeated in this list to correct errors
