As if this kind of thing were not ridiculous enough he gives 

 the following: 



" Sanicula arctopoidcs H. & A.; Hook. Fl. i, 258 t. 90(1833); 

 Bot. Beech. 141 and 347 (1840)." 



" Sanicula Mcnziesii H. & A.; Hook. Fl. 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' ' Cyclopaedia 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 18 19. 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. (181 2?) under Leontice 

 [vol. xx].
