lehmann's pugtllt 199 



hotanischen Garten hieselhst : Hamburg 1823. He had already 

 published in the annual seed-lists of the Garden, beginning Avith 

 1821, brief diagnoses of new plants grown therein, and these, which 

 are reprinted textually in the Fuc/illus, are there amplified by full 

 descriptions. The lists I have seen, although duly published with 

 title-page and date, bear no author's name, nor are the diagnoses 

 signed. The only plant published for the first time in the PugiUiis 

 is the TItricuJaria which suggested this note — a fact to which Leh- 

 mann calls attention in his introduction. 



1 have been unable to see the original Scltulprogramm cited by 

 Mr. Williams ; this he thought he had seen in the Library of the 

 Linnean Society, but it cannot be found there, nor is it at the 

 National Herbarium nor at Kew. Mr. Williams tells me that he 

 once purchased a co})y with a miscellaneous bundle of tracts ; this he 

 subsequently disposed of at a price exceeding that which he paid for 

 the collection. 



The second Pugillns appears to have been published independently 

 of the Index Scliolarum ; it has a title-page, dated " Hamburg!, 1830," 

 and the species described are first published therein ; they include 

 some of Douglas's Californian plants, wliich had been communicated 

 to him by W. J. Hooker. The four following (3-6) bear no date on 

 the title-page, but are stated to be reprinted respectively from the 

 Indices for' 1831, 1832, 1833, and 1834; the fourth and fifth have 

 prefaces dated December 1831 and January 1833. The seventh and 

 eighth are also referred to the Index, and have title-pages dated 1838 

 and 1844. The ninth and tenth were issued independently (1851, 

 1857) : to the latter is added an index to the ten Pugilli. 



The third PugiJhis has no preface ; in that to the fourth, which 

 is entirely (".evpte'd to Hepaticce, Lehmann thanks W. J. Hooker, who 

 had sent' him Wallich's specimens, and acknowledges plants from 

 *' alii Botanices cultores per Angliam, Francogalliam, Daniam, Ger- 

 maniam obvii " as well as from " vir amicissimus J. B. G. Linden- 

 berg," who is again mentioned in the " prsemonenda " to Fngillus 5 ; 

 this is also entirely, as are the ninth and 6-8 in great part, occupied 

 bv Hepaticce. 



The first portion of Pugillus 6 — which has no preface — " De 

 Plantis Cycadeis pra^sertim African Australis " — was also issued 

 separately in the same year (1834) with a titlepage and a dedication 

 to C. F. Ecklon — " peregrinatori experientissimo amico aestumatis- 

 sinio d. d. Auctor." The copy in the Department of Botany was 

 presented to James Yates (1789-1871) whose specimens and drawings 

 of Cycads are also in the Department ; the latter will afford material 

 for a future note. The five plates in Yates's copy are replaced by 

 Milde's drawings from which they were made ; bound with it is 

 no. 11 of the AUgemeines Garienzdtung for 1834, which contains a 

 German rendering by Lehmann of his paper in Pugillus 6. 



PugiUus 7 contains, besides the Ilepaticce already mentioned, a 

 history of the Hamburg Botanic Garden " ex ipsis Actis collectfie " 

 from May, 1818 — the date of Lehmann's appointment as Professor 

 of Natural History. In the 8th, the second part is oceu])ied by a 

 description of some of Preiss's New Holland plants, of which a com-
