LINXEAN heubaeium. 31 



The numbers followiiif}; the genera refer to the running numbers 

 of the Catalogue of the Herbarium, as printed in Proc, Liun. Soc. 

 1906-7, pp. 9G-1IL>. 



The numbers (1, 2, or 3) following the species refer to the 

 enumeration in w Inch they first occur, thus : — 



In 1753 by the figure 1. 

 „ 1755 ,, „ 2. 



., 1707 „ ,, 3. 



These lists are fully explained on' p. 10. Where no figure 

 follows, the specimen was obtained after 1707, or was by some 

 accident not recorded by Linne. 



The same specimen was frequently shifted by Linne, as liis 

 views of afiiiiity changed. I have tried to point out where a 

 specimen may be found, by adding the later name, as under 

 AcuYR.VKTHES repens = Illecebrum Achyrantha, which means 

 that the specimen is now in Illecebrum. MS. names are shown 

 by that abbreviation ; when they w-ere ])ublished in the ' Supple- 

 mentum* which bears the name of the younger Linne as author, 

 tlie abbreviation of " Suppl." has been affixed ; this has the further 

 interest of pointing out which species in tliat work are really due 

 to the father and not to the son. 



The types of the younger Linne in the herbarium are not as a 

 rule indicated ; they have been left for another opportunity. The 

 zoological lists which were brought to light during the preparation 

 of this Index liave been printed in 1913. 



The numbers following the generic name in Clarendon type, 

 refer to the Catalosue drawn u]) by David Don and Ilichard 

 Xippist, when the Linnean Collections were acquired in 1830, 

 after the death of Sir James Edward Smith ; they are still used 

 when consulting the Herbarium. 



(Some modifications have been made in the MS. Catalogue, 

 which are explained in tlie Foreword.)
