LTNXEAN IIEllI5ARIUi\r. 13 



Browxe, Patrick (1720-1790). Born in Ireland, he pi-actised 

 as a doctor in the AVest Indies, and published in 1756 a folio 

 volume on the Natural History of Jamaica; his lierbarium 

 was bought by Linne through CoUiuson in 1753 for c£8 8s. ; 

 the purcliaser marvelled that the English sliould let so fine a 

 collection slip through their hands for " 100 plfitar," that is, 

 double what it cost Liune. The specimens are denoted by 

 " Br." in Linne's hand, but the names were written by 

 Solander at the extreme bottom of each sheet, presumably 

 from the printed volume which Linne annotated, 347 being 

 noted; (/. Smith, Linn. Coi-r. i. pp. 42-44. 



Burgess, Rev. Dr. John (fi. 1771-1805), lichenologist at Kirk- 

 michael, Dumfries. 



BuRMAN, Jan (1706-1779), eujinent Dutch botanist; contributed 

 Cape and Javan plants ; father of 



BuRMAN, NicoiiAus Laurent (1734-1793). Visited Uppsala in 

 1700, and afterwards was a frequent correspondent. 



" CAPELL," = Capellanus, Chaplain; used by Linne for Frater 

 Gabriel, of Aix. 



Catesby, Mark (1680-1749), author of the 'Natural History of 

 Caroun:!,' etc. 



Celsius, Oloe, the elder (1670-1756). Linne's early bene- 

 factor in his Uppsala student period. He returned to the 

 botanic garden plants he had taken thence when the place 

 lay in neglect. 



Clayton, John (168G or 1693?-1773). Born in Middlesex, 

 collected in Virginia, sent plants to Gronovius, who published 

 his 'Flora Virgiuica ' in 1739—13. Linne says: — "When 

 I assisted Dr. Gronovius in exaniining plants from A-^irginia, 

 I got duplicates of most of them." The labels to these are 

 in the handwriting of Gronovius. 



Clifford, George (1685-1760). Linne's patron at Hartecampe, 

 near Haarlem, who "had an excellent herbarium from which 

 he gave me all the duplicates"; (see also ' Sp. PL' ed. 2. 

 prief.). These are recognisable by their good thick paper, 

 which has been cut down from the original size, 18"xir' 

 (45-5 cm. X 28 cm.) to the small size noted on p. 9. They 

 amount to about 100 sheets, most of them still further 

 marked, by portions of the printed vase at the base of the 

 stem of the specimen, or the ticket at the left hand at the 

 bottom, marks well known to those who have referred to 

 Herb. Cliifort. at the British Museum. 



CoLLiNSON, Peter (1694-1768). Contributed plants from his 

 garden; bought Browne's herbarium on behalf of Linne in 

 1758. 



Cronstadt, Count Carl Johan (1709-1779) [not " Jakob "]. 



Dahl, Anders (1751-1789). The records in the herbarium are 

 probably only as an an)anuensis ; his names are on the bai-k 

 of each sheet, close to the bottom.
