Pronouncing Dictionary—continued. 
BIBLIOGRAPHY 
Of Works used for the Derivation and Accentuation of Generic and Specific Names. 
This Bibliographical List contains the titles of works useful for the study of plant- 
names; most of them fall under the following heads :— 
. (1) Books in which we find the old classical names of plants, such as those of the 
ancient authors Theophrastus, Virgil, Pliny, and the moderns Fraas, Sprengel, Lenz, &c. 
. (2) Those of writers who supply information on the so-called barbarous native 
names, such as Aublet and Seemann for American names; Siebold and Kaempfer for 
Japanese; Bretschneider for Chinese, &c. 
(8) The books which afford particulars as to commemorative names and the lives of 
the men thus honoured—see Haller, Bóhmer, Pritzel, &c. 
(4) General works which give the derivation and pronunciation of botanical names. 
Some of these may be found under the names Wittstein, Glaser, Paxton, Loudon. 
(5) National Floras, which are authorities especially for names commemorative of 
men belonging to the respective nations, as for England, Withering and Hooker; 
Germany, Koch; Italy, Arcangeli; Sweden, Nyman. 
(6) Treatises dealing with the special pronunciation of Latin, as advocated in this 
Dictionary. A few of these, though not connected directly with botany, have been inserted 
for convenience of reference—Ellis, Haldeman, Roby, Smith, Kennedy. 
| It has not been thought worth while to mention the authorities for the comparatively 
. few zoological names (principally those of insects) which occur in the Dictionary. 
x Some of the works enumerated have been but little used; but all of them have been con- 
sulted more or less. The edition actually used has been named in every case; but that is also 
generally the latest. In order to ascertain the original etymology, reference has been made, 
in very numerous instances, to the work in which the author originally published the 
name; but of course the titles of such publications have not been inserted in the list, as 
doing so would have many times multiplied its present size. For the rare works which 
were not in the writer’s own library, recourse has been had to the admirable Botanical 
Library in the Natural History Department of the British Museum at South Kensington, 
to which free access was permitted, and much assistance rendered, through the courtesy of 
Mr. Carruthers and Mr. Britten.
