BIBLIOGRArHICAL NOTES 



Ethelyn M. Tucker 



It is intended to publish in this Journal from time to time bibliographical 

 notes on books and serial publications relating to systematic botany, 

 which being undated or having inexact dates are a source of difficulty and 

 error, particularly when questions of priority of publication are involved. 

 Any corrections or additions to this list will be gratefully received, 

 and if important will be published. It is hoped that with such notes 

 much information known at present in but few libraries will be made 

 available to a larger number of botanical workers. 



Nouveau Duhamel. In the preface to Duhamel's "Traits des arbres 

 et arbustes qui se cultivent en France en pleine terre, 1755," he expresses 

 the hope that the work which he has commenced may be continued on 

 broader lines. After nearly half a century this work was undertaken 

 in the form of a "Nouveau Duhamel" issued in 80 parts, from 1801 to 

 1819 and completed in seven folio volumes. 



As the original issue appears to be very rare and the work to be rep- 

 resented in many libraries by a re-issue published about 1852, with partly 

 differing title-pages and without dates, the following citations from an 

 original copy in the library of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society 

 are interesting and may prove useful. 



The titles of the several volumes read as follows: 

 Vol. i. "Trait6 des arbres et arbustes que Ton cultive en France en 

 pleine terre. Par Duhamel. Seconde Edition considdrablement aug- 

 mentde. Paris. Chez Didot, ain6; Michel; Lamy." 



This volume has a half-title, an engraved title-page, and a dedi- 

 cation to Madame Bonaparte.

 en pleine terre. Par Duhamel. Nouvelle Edition, augmentee de
