9. — The Botany of Cook's Voyage. 



The publication of the 'Botany' of Cook's 'Voyage,'* very sHghtly 

 referred to in my last address, deserves more extended notice at 

 this place, for Australians in particular are much indebted to the 

 Trustees of the British Museum and to Mr. J. Britten, its editor. 



I have tabulated the instances in which Mr. Britben departs 

 from the nomenclature of the ' Flora Australiensis,' and the list 

 is worth}' of detailed study. The alterations are of two kinds, 

 those by monographers; the name Pleiogynium Solandri^ Engler, 

 may be taken at random as an instance of this. 



Some of the others appear to be of the character stigmatised by 

 me as mere literar}^ corrections, and I advise my fellow Australians 

 not to accept them until they have been approved by competent 

 monographers. I have added notes to some of the names, but 

 they are by no means of an exhaustive character. 



The alterations, Candollea, Styj>lielia^ etc., accepted by Mueller 

 will be discussed by Mr. Betche and myself in our forthcoming 

 revised Census of New iSouth Wales Plants.
