Mr. DOUGLAS, the Naturalist, the Date of the Death of. (VIII. 

 411.) — Particulars on the circumstances of the death of Mr. 

 Douglas are published in the Mirror, No. 769., March 26. 

 1836; where it is stated that his death occurred more than 

 six months before Christmas-day, 1834; and not, as we had 

 stated in our VIII. 411., about Christmas-day. 



Mr. Ryland's Remarks on the Application of the Quinary 

 System of Classification in Natural History (p. 175 — 182.), 

 Correction to. — In p. 1 78. line 3., for " Papilionaceae," read 

 " Papilionacea." I propose to distinguish the rank of tribes 

 by the termination " acea," as that of families is distinguished 

 by "idse," and sub-families by " inae" [VI. 487.]. With 

 regard to Glaux [p. 179. note *] being applied to a genus in 

 botany, with due deference to your opinion, I should give as 

 mine, that, as the animal and vegetable kingdoms are dis- 

 tinct ones, the use of the same name to a genus in each is 

 not objectionable ; in support of which, I may just remind 

 you, that some of our most eminent naturalists have designated 

 groups, and even species, of animals with appellations used in 

 botany. — Peter Rylands. Bewsey House, Warrington, April 4 . 

 1836. 



[That things distinct in their nature should, when de- 

 signated by names, be designated by distinct ones, is obviously 

 desirable. It is so much so, that no professional authority 

 can supersede the desirableness, which is founded in that feel- 

 ing of our natures which prompts us to invent means to save 

 ourselves trouble.]
