6 INTEODUCTION. 



Though the original project could not be carried out, it was 

 not forgotten, and last autumn it occurred to the compiler, that 

 an index on a modest scale, showing bj special type ever}' plant 

 authenticated by the author himself, or at his dictation, would be 

 acceptable ; the following pages are the result. 



The Linnean sequence has been preserved in the herbarium as 

 far as possible, and more than one hundred specimens which had 

 been transferred by Smith to other genera have been replaced, 

 so that the Linnean material is again brought together. As an 

 instance. Smith removed 4 species from OJdenlandia to Hedyotis, 

 thereby obscuring Linne's conception of the former genus. A few 

 slight slips of the pen have been disregarded, but important 

 variations of name have been noted. The zoological genera in 

 the herbarium, such as Flustra, have not been catalogued 

 specifically.
