Loiseleur-Deslongchamps will become the sole editor. At the end of 

 vol. V, an **avis" states that the **Nouveau Duliamel" while taking its 

 name and some of its material from Duhamel's "Trait6" is neither a re- 

 impression nor a new edition of it, but an entirely new work. "Tons 

 les articles, meme ceux que Duhamel avail le mieux travaillds tant sur 



les Arbres forestiers et d'ornement, que sur les Arbres fruitiers, ont 6t6 

 refaits en entier et considi^rablemcnt augmentde." 

 A collation of the volumes is as follows:

The co])y of '^Nouveau Duhamel" in the Arnold Arboretum library is 

 evidently the re-issue of about 1852 and differs from the original only 

 in the title-pages, which are all alike, with the exception of the 

 volume numbers, are undated, and read: "Traitd des arbres et ar- 

 bustes que Ton cultive en pleine terre en Euroi)e, et particuliercment en 

 France. Ed. augmentde de plus de moitid pour le nombre des esp6ces 

 distribude d'apros un ordrc plus methodique suivant Tctat actuel dc la 

 botaniquc ct de ragriculture. R^'^digd i)ar MM. Veillard, Jaume Saint- 

 Ililaire, Mirbcl, Poiret, et continue par M. Loiseleur-Deslongchami)s. 

 Ouvrage orn6 de cinq cents planches d'ai)res les dessins de MM. Redoutd 

 et Bessa. Paris, Librairic Encyclopedique de Roret." Vol. i has also 



the engraved title-page as in the original, the note opposite reading ''Ex- 



plication du frontispice" instead of '* Explication de la vignette." 



It would be very interesting to learn if in any library a copy of this 

 work with the original covers of the 80 parts exists and if these covers 

 are dated, so that it would be possible to get the exact date of each issue.
