XI— THE DATES OF HOOKER'S "BOTANICAL 

 MISCELLANY."*— H. S. Marshall. 



This periodical consists of three volumes dated, (on their title- 

 pages), " 1830," " 1831 " and " 1833" respectively, and these dates 

 have been accepted as correct in botanical works of reference such

 Dictionnaire . . . des genres de plantes phan^rogames (1929—35). 

 Actually, however, the three volumes appeared in nine parts from
