 Waonek, Johannes Geuiiaiii) (1700-1759). His contributions 



are noted in the ' Hortus UpsaUensis.' 

 Wanstuo.m (or Wenstho.nl), S. M. Named iu connection with

 WiLCKE, Samuel Gustav [?| (11. 1760-17G5; d. 1791). 

 ZiNN, JoiiANN Gottfuied (1727-1759). Named as a contributor 



of plants, in the preface to the second edition of the ' Species 



Plant arum.' 

 ZoEGA, JoiiAN (1742-1797). A Danish pupil highly esteemed by 



Linne : " If Fabricius brings me an insect, or Zoega a moss, 



I take off my hat and say, ' Be ye my teachers,' " Fries, 



" Linne," ii. ii\\. xviii. 9. 



The citations in the foregoing are mainly from Linne's own 

 autobiography in the 'Egenhiindigaanteckningar,' edited by Adam 

 Afzelius in 1823; in the words of a translation from the manu- 

 script printed in Maton's edition of Pulteney's ' Linnaeus ' in 

 1805, pp. 543-547, and condensed in Proc. Linn. Soc. 1887-88, 

 pp. 20-22 ; see the Bibliography appended (p. 22). 



Linne as a Collector. 



'Thus far we have considered the contributors to the herbarium ; 

 the next question is, how far did Linne himself collect specimens ? 

 His own statements are these : — " I have collected, from my 

 infancy, all the plants of Sweden, together with those of the 

 Swedish gardens "' (Maton's ed. of Pulteney's ' Linnaeus,' p. 574), 

 'but the following, copied from p. 515 of the same work, is some- 

 what discrepant ; it describes him becoming acquainted with dried 

 plants only, while living with Dr. K. Stobaeus at Lund in 1727. 

 "" He was highly delighted with the mode of making a hortus siccus, 

 and immediately began to collect all the plants that grew in the 

 neighbourhood ot" Lund, and to glue them on paper." After 

 deserting Lund for Uppsala, in the autumn of 1729, he told Prof. 

 Olof Celsius that he " had above 000 indigenous plants preserved 

 in his cabinet." From hints in his works, and from indications in 

 his herbarium, he seems to have collected at various times, such as 

 his Lapland journey: when at Tuggenforsen in Lycksele Lappmark 

 he gathered and named for the first time the Linmea borealis, on 

 29th May, 1732, though the genus is stated to be of Gronovius upon 

 a scrap which he gave his friend in 1735. His three journeys to 

 Oland and Gotland, West Gotland, and Skane, produced additions ; 

 but many plants are those gathered in the L'ppsala Garden, the 

 produce of those innumerable packets of seeds, sent year after 

 year to him, from a more genial climate, and now recognisable in 

 the herbarium under the initials H. U., /. e. Hortus L'psaliensis. 

 The younger llartman mentions with evident surprise that so 

 many Swedish plants should be absent from the collection, and in
