PKOCEEDIIfGS OP THE 



1887-88, pp. 18-22). That account may be supplemented by the 

 statement that the Herbarium appears to be practically as it was 

 on the death of the elder Linne, the bulk of his son's accretions 

 being incorporated in the herbarium of Sir J. E. Smith, also in 

 the possession of the Linnean Society. The collection may be 

 said to consist of three series of plants — («) those cited in the two 

 editions of the ' Species Plantarum ' ; (b) those omitted from that 

 work, but named by Linne himself, and probably acquired at a 

 later date or intentionally set aside, amongst these being the plants 

 of the ' Mantissse ' and the ' Supplementum ' ; and (c) various 

 additions, some of which perhaps never came under the scrutiny 

 of the elder Linne, but were put in by the son. The plants which 

 Smith gave to Banks, 81 in number, were duplicates, as I have 

 satisfied myself (Proc. Linn. Soc. 1902-3, p. 10). 



A transcript of the catalogue of the genera contained in the 

 Linnean Herbarium is appended ; it was drawn up by order of the 

 Council of the Linnean Society, 21st May, 1836, and consists of, 

 firstly, an enumeration of the genera in the Linnean order with 

 a running number prefixed, and followed by the number of sheets 

 under each genus ; and, secondly, an alphabetic arrangement, with 

 reference to the running numbers, so that any required genus can 

 be as readily found as a page in a book by its index. 



A comparison of this list of genera with the Linnean manuscript 

 catalogue shows a few discrepancies ; thus Linne enumerates the 

 following which will not be found in the appended catalogue : — 



Leucadendron ; inerged in Protea. 



Diodia ; wanting. 



Cupania ; wanting. 



Sciirrula ; merged in Loranihus. 



Barreria ; proves to be A(/athosma imbricata, Willd., and 



the type-sheet is in the Diosma cover. 

 Calamus ; wanting. 

 Bartramia ; merged in Trmmfetta. 

 Daliharda ; is Ruhus Dalibarda. » 



Sarracenia ; cover empty. 

 JVejifnthes ; wanting. A small unmarked sheet in Smith's 



herbarium may be this. 



I have searched Smith's herbarium under each of these missing 

 genera, but, with the possible exception mentioned under Nepenthes, 

 I have found nothing to throw any light on the omissions, which 

 cannot have occurred since the collection came into the possession 

 o£ the Linnean Society.
