1921] TUCKER, BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. II 239 



In volume one there is an engraved title-page having an illustration 

 of a monument erected to Kaempfer and Thunberg in Dezima, upon which 

 the inscription: 



E. Kaempfer, C. P. Thunberg 

 Ecce! virent vestrae hie plantae florentque quotannis 



Cultorum memores serta feruntque pia 



Ph. Fr. de Siebold 



Beneath this illustration is inscribed: 



Monimentura in memoriam 

 Engelberti Kaempferi et Caroli Petri Tliunbergii 



In Horto botanico insulae 



Dezima 

 Cura et sumptibus 

 Ph. Fr. de Siebold 



Positum. 



MDCCCXXVI. 



In his "Nippon. Archiv zur beschreibung von Japan," 2® aufl., bd. i, 

 Siebold mentions the existence of such a monument, but perhaps through 

 excessive modesty forbears to mention his connection with it. There 

 can be little doubt that the date 1826 refers to the year In which the 

 monument was erected. 



Following this ornamental title page is another engraved page, reading: 

 "Hommage a son altesse imperiale royale Madame la Princesse d 'Orange 

 Anne Paulowna, Grande Duchesse de Russie." 



One of the greatest services rendered by Siebold to horticulture was 

 the laying out of his nursery ground in the immediate vicinity of Leyden 

 in 1843. This garden was better known as *'Jardin d' accHmatation 

 du Japon et de la Chine," and in it were introduced many valuable trees 



and other plants.
